Transition Programs
The Office of Student Life offers a number of programs to help support students through these changes, providing them with opportunities to learn more about what the institution has to offer, meet fellow students, staff and faculty, and become better prepared for university life. Encourage your student to register for any or all of our orientation programming. Some programs, such as MyStart: Connect have sessions for parents and families and we encourage you to attend. Learn more about these programs below.
