First-Year Program

The First-Year Office coordinates academic and co-curricular programs and services for first-year students. This includes academic advising, academic and adjustment counseling, and the summer orientation programs, among others. The office maintains a close and collaborative relationship with the Academic Resource Center and faculty advisors of first-year students.

A note regarding COVID-19

We have made the decision to move June Orientation online. This decision was based on a number of factors including recommendations from our local health department and emerging CDC guidance with regard to travel restrictions. All fees have been refunded to those who have already registered. You will remain registered for your current session on the dates scheduled. If you have not yet registered, please click on the registration link below to choose your session for online June-O. Additional details about the online program will be made available to you soon. Thank you for your patience.
