303 Orientation 303 Orientation Orientation for first year and transfer students is held three times a year at the beginning of the fall, spring, and summer semesters. In addition, several two-day orientations are held during the summer for students who will be entering fall semester. During these summer orientation sessions, parent meetings are held concurrently with student meetings. Each student is provided the opportunity to be advised by a faculty member from the student's major field of interest or, if undecided, to be advised by a faculty member in the Freshman Center. Prior to orientation, students are given the opportunity to take placement tests.
Effective orientation requires the combined efforts of faculty, staff, and students.
Faculty participation is requested through the appropriate deans or supervisors.
