Students should contact the Health Center for complete details. Each semester Student Affairs sponsors an orientation for new lower-division students. Parents of new students are also encouraged to attend an orientation session. Orientation lasts two days and is designed to acquaint students with the University and to facilitate students' choices of courses, registration, and completion of other necessary procedures. During orientation, student mentors meet as peer advisors with incoming freshmen.
New students receive information about orientation by mail after they have been admitted.
Transfer orientations are held before the beginning of the Fall and Spring Semesters. Invitations are mailed to newly admitted transfer students. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates. Contract the Orientation Officer for more information. The University Advising Center provides advising for General Studies requirements for freshman and sophomore students.
