Q What is Orientation?
A Orientation is a series of events and activities designed to help new first-year students explore all that awaits them at college or university. You'll meet people, find out about resources on campus, learn how to find your way around campus and have some fun too!

But Orientation is more than just a single day or week of activities. It's about our commitment to help you, as a new student, explore opportunities for involvement on campus and successfully connect to your new community. You'll want help not only when you start college in July, but also throughout the year, as your experiences and needs evolve. Our Orientation activities will help you with this transition and we'll be offering events and activities throughout your first year.

Q When is Orientation?
A We'll be in touch with all newly admitted students in July 2007 with specific details. You can also visit and bookmark the JIS Group or individual college Web site and check back for details.


Q Do I have to attend Orientation?
A No, it's not mandatory, but it's highly recommended for all new undergraduate students - and not just for students living in residence. It really will help smooth the transition to career. You'll meet people, get to know the campus, and get involved in some fun activities. It's definitely a good idea!
