New Cru Orientation
New Cru Orientation is 鶹Ƶ's official introduction to campus for incoming undergraduate students. Whether entering 鶹Ƶ from high school (incoming freshmen) or from another college or university (transfer students), accepted students will have the opportunity to attend a variety of sessions to help them transition to 鶹Ƶ. During orientation, students will also be advised and registered for classes. The first year of college is a season of change and transition for both students and parents. For most parents, the adjustment of no longer having their child at home can be tough. Combining that feeling with the financial aspects that come with someone attending college, parents often realize any resource that can be helpful is welcomed, and at 鶹Ƶ, we hope to provide support to parents and family members at and after orientation!
