January New Student Orientation - New & Transfer Students
Orientation Session Date: January 23, 2024
We are so excited to welcome you to The University of Scranton! For our incoming students transferring from another institution (and new students who did not attend the summer sessions), we will invite you to an orientation session that will help you navigate the transition to the University community. Your New Student Orientation experience will be offered just before the start of the semester. Please see below for some additional information about what to expect; we have also prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help you prepare for New Student Orientation! If you have any questions, please contact orientation@scranton.edu.
You can review the sample schedule of the orientation session for an idea of what to expect via the links below:
Academic Advising
As part of your enrollment at the University, new and transfer students will participate in applicable placement testing and academic advising with their college advising centers.
Academic Advising
As part of your enrollment, you meet (virtually) with an academic advisor within your respective college, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Kania School of Management, or the Panuska College of Professional Studies. Your academic advising center should be reaching out in January prior to Orientation. If you need assistance with this, please email orientation@scranton.edu. In this meeting, you review your spring schedule, go over your academic goals, review any placement tests you may need to complete, and resolve any questions you have about academics at the University.
New Student Orientation Team
Our New Student Orientation Team is comprised of professional staff and student Orientation Assistants (OAs) who are so excited to welcome you to our campus community. Make sure you follow the Center for Student Engagement's Instagram to learn more about your Orientation Assistants!
Information Technology
The IT orientation webpage has been designed to help all incoming students and their parents/guardians/supports to navigate through our various campus technology resources. Learn more about the Student Laptop Program, wireless campus networks, telephone and cable services, and the Technology Support Center.
