two questions to be answered
1. Why can the uncountable noun underlined can carry an article "a" when an uncountble noun is usually restricted to the article "the" or no article at all?
New students must complete a new student orientation to be eligible to register for courses before the open registration period. All new in-coming students should attend (the ???) orientation.
2. Why the subsequent mention of the word underlined does not have the specifying article "the" in front of the word?
All new in-coming students should attend (the ???) orientation.

" You treat it as you the word "workshop" (or meeting, or session, or training program, or other similar words/phrases). ) I would put the "the" in the second sentence.

Well, here, orientation is being used to mean "a workshop that will assist new students." You treat it as you the word "workshop" (or meeting, or session, or training program, or other similar words/phrases).
(By the way, new-student should by hyphenated, IMO - I don't think the orientation is new, but it's for new students.)
I would put the "the" in the second sentence.
