During Orientation, you’ll interact with current students, faculty, and staff, undergo placement testing, register for the upcoming semester’s courses, engage with Orientation Leaders, and familiarize yourself with campus resources. Upon completion, you’ll have a finalized course schedule and fulfilled all pre-entry tasks from the “My To-Do List” in Broncoville.
