When selecting an orientation, be sure to choose a date that matches the semester you want to start classes. Be sure to pay attention to the orientation times--you will need to be here for the entire time listed for orientation.  Registration appointments are required  to attend orientation. Please note that the newly admitted student should be the one to make the orientation reservation as information provided by the student will directly impact their orientation experience.
