GO (Get Oriented) is Houston Christian University’s official free and required orientation for new incoming freshmen and transfer students. Freshmen GO is an opportunity for new students to learn more about HCU and to get acquainted with the many programs and services we offer to students.
HCU is in an exciting phase of campus development! We recently began construction on our new Smith Engineering, Science and Nursing Building, which has caused some parking lot and entrance gate closures on campus.
When you arrive for GO, please navigate to Gate 3, located on Beechnut Street. The side of campus you’ll need to be on for the start of GO is currently inaccessible from our main entrance, which is where your GPS will take you by default.
GO check-in is in McNair Hall of our Morris Cultural Arts Center. Navigating to that address using your GPS should take you to the Gate 3 entrance, but please confirm that you are entering off of Beechnut Street.
Please also consult our Pardon our Progress page for current lot closures and more information regarding this exciting time for the HCU community!
