Four Phases of Orientation
2011 Transfer Orientation Dates and Times
The transfer orientation sessions are designed to give you all of the pertinent information you will need to fully prepare yourself for the upcoming semester. The sessions will cover all general aspects of the University.
Day and evening sessions are available to accommodate your schedule. The sessions offer an introduction to the student services and departments that are available to help you navigate around the campus. Your academic advisor will advise you in creating your Fall semester schedule. Finally, the Orientation Leaders will help you with web registration so that you can get set with your classes for the Fall semester. Check-in starts a half hour before each program begins.
Although the 2011 Transfer Orientations have passed, we felt it was important to leave this information online for anyone planning ahead. The 2012 Orientation dates and details will be posted as soon as they are available.
