2012 Summer Orientation Programs
Welcome New and Transfer Students!
Going to college, even a new college, can simultaneously be exhilarating and sometimes overwhelming. You may be excited but equally as nervous about meeting new people, transferring to a different college environment, roommates, college-level classes, navigating the campus, finding acceptance in a new environment, or just exploring a new town!
To make this significant transition a little bit easier, Ithaca has an orientation program where new and transfer students can meet other classmates, learn about campus life, attend workshops and social events, talk with faculty, and register for fall semester classes. This is a great time to hear from current students,ask questions, and get a sneak peak of what to expect at Ithaca College before the semester starts.
New and Transfer Orientation Goals:
- To gain an understanding of the college mission and vision
- To make a connection with both student peers, faculty, and staff within your academic school and college-wide
- To gain an understanding of your rights and responsibilities as an IC community member
- To register for the classes you will take in the fall
- To receive exposure to some of the academic and social challenges you may face
