The primary purpose of New Student Orientation is to prepare students for the changes they will experience as they transition to college. This is becoming increasingly difficult in this time of pandemic as we do not yet know what the Autumn semester will look like. The university is now working on this and will have a plan in place by early June. Therefore, we have decided to wait until early July to begin orienting our new students entering the university this fall.
The new dates for Autumn Semester 2020 New Student Orientation are July 6-10 and August 7. Students who have already signed up for early orientation dates will be placed in the first 3 days in July with the option of rescheduling. Remaining students will be offered orientation dates where space is still available.
