students.
There is also a corresponding Orientation program for your parents designed
to address parents' questions and concerns regarding academic requirements,
advisement, your health and safety and the many services available to
you. Parent Orientation emphasizes the important role your parents play
in your college success.
Orientation dates for the 2009 fall semester are available on the Orientation

session, paid the appropriate fees, and received a written confirmation).
You will receive more information on the Orientation program and how to
