Orientation

Going to college can be exhilarating yet frightening at the same time. You may be nervous about meeting new people or finding your way around campus. 

To make the transition from high school to college a little bit easier, most colleges have freshmen orientation. This is when students can meet other classmates, learn about campus life, and ask any questions they may have before the semester starts.

During Orientation you will live in a residence hall for the duration of the program. Activities are planned from morning through evening and consist of:

• meetings with faculty and administration
• workshops
• social events

The goals for the Orientation Program are to allow students the following:

• 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

All students admitted for fall 2008 will receive information in the mail about the Summer Orientation Program. This information will arrive mid spring.
