Spring Orientation

Individual invitations to the Spring Orientation programs are mailed out to the students in the middle of March. A registration form is enclosed which needs to be completed and mailed back to the Registrar's Office one week prior to the program. This helps us create a course schedule and assign an academic advisor that best suites you!
