Students learn about specific college curricula, major requirements, advising, college programs and resources. Students also learn about campus expectations, traditions, and campus resources through campus life programs. Parents and students attend some sessions together and others separately for the first day. The last day of orientation is for students only. By the time engineering students come to campus for orientation, they will have already registered for their Fall semester courses in July on the Web or by phone.
Students meet department representatives,college officials, and register for classes the same day.
