Save the Date for New Student Orientation 2018: Wednesday, August 22-Saturday, August 25. Information to follow soon. Be on the look out for a postcard and brochure with full schedule and details.
Transfer Students
Transfer students will enjoy a one-day orientation program on Wednesday, August 22 that helps ease the transition to a new environment, and they will learn about all of our resources and opportunities.
