Orientation

• Familiarize students with the campus, including facilities and student services.
• Provide students with essential information and skills for succeeding in college.
• Familiarize students with campus policies and procedures.
• Provide students with an overview of the core curriculum and basic academic requirements.
• Provide a friendly atmosphere for registration for courses.
• Help students socialize and make friends the first day on campus.

Enrollment in more than 13 semester hours during summer term is considered an overload for undergraduates. Academically superior students may take an overload with the approval of the dean of the college in which they are enrolled.
