Did you know that students who attend orientation have improved chances of succeeding in college? It's true. With an increase in first generation college students, a more diverse student population, and a widening age range, transitioning to college life can leave first-time students feeling overwhelmed. Where do I get my student ID? How do I access and learn the online tools before assignments begin? Parking, cafeteria, academic course calendar, library hours and a host of other questions. Getting those "little" things out of the way before the first day of class can alleviate the stress of going to school for the first time, or back to school after a long time.
Need more convincing? How about meeting some of the friendly faces you can look forward to seeing on a daily basis? Classmates, administrators, student life staff and many others you will cross paths with on campus. Get to know your way around, learn about clubs and activities, disability services, Veteran Affairs, athletics, counseling and so much more. The additional perks that come along with your new student status go well beyond a free gym membership and student discounts.
Show up on day one feeling confident that you have completed your first 'assignment' and a feeling of familiarity.
