Some useful terms *First Year Students: Any required Orientation event that you do not attend will be counted as an absence in your University 101/111 class.
All New Students are required to attend all Orientation sessions! In the unlikely event of a conflict between a scheduled Orientation event and another campus function, there is no conflict! Orientation events are not optional and take precedence over any other event.
