Orientation

For New Students--Freshman and Transfer

**Orientation for freshman and transfer students will take place on Friday, August 22, 2008.

What is new student orientation?
New Student Orientation is required for all new students. It is designed to help students adjust to their new environment and cope with the changes that they will experience. Orientation gives new students a preview of the college experience, helps students understand university policies and procedures, and provides students opportunities that familiarize them with university services and other students. Students will acquire information to effectively deal with common transition issues; develop a familiarity with the physical surroundings of the university environment and acquire an understanding of academic support services available to students; and discuss academic expectations.

August 22, 2008, registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Orientation will conclude at 2:00 p.m. with Tiger Impact events resuming at 7:30 p.m.
