Orientation and Welcome Week Checklist

College life is sometimes a major change for freshmen and with that in mind; the University has planned a program to assist you with this transition. Welcome Week is designed to complement the orientation program which occurs during the summer.  The Week will place emphases on information new students will need to know right before the start of classes.  Sessions during Welcome Week will assist new students in making a successful transition into Coastal. Things to know about Welcome Week include the following:

• It is required for all freshmen, including freshmen who live in the local area
• The dates are August 16-19, 2008.
• You will be able to re-connect with students you met during the summer orientation program.
• You will meet other freshmen, upperclassmen, faculty and staff.
• You will see your academic advisor again and they will answer your questions before classes begin.
• Upperclassmen will help you find classroom locations the day before your full schedule of classes begin.
• Your First Year Experience (FYE) class will start during Welcome Week.
• There will be social events during the evenings to help you meet people and it will be lots of fun.
