Transfer Student Orientation

 

 

Welcome to Virginia Commonwealth University!

It is our pleasure to invite you to Orientation 2008 at Virginia Commonwealth University. You have made a wonderful choice to attend VCU and are well on your way to an incredible collegiate experience full of academic opportunity and personal growth.

 

Orientation is a required program and serves as your formal introduction to all that VCU has to offer. We encourage you to ask lots of questions, actively participate in discussions, become acquainted with friends and learn what will be expected of you as a member of the VCU community.

Program Highlights

• Upper-class student Orientation Assistants (OAs) will provide the inside scoop on academics, involvement and social life at VCU.
• The parent and family program will focus on information pertaining to resources and services on campus, financial aid and payment, academics and parental involvement in the VCU experience.
• Academic meetings and advising will inform you about your area of study, academic opportunities and expectations for student success.
• Question & answer time will allow you to learn more about the many campus resources available to assist in your success.

Orientation Reservations Are Required for First-Year and Transfer Students

Students admitted for the Fall 2008 semester will attend New Student Orientation in this summer.

Online reservations with payment are required. Please review your calendar prior to making a reservation to attend an orientation session. The orientation fee paid upon making a reservation is non-refundable.

 

Orientation dates are assigned on a first-reserved basis. Personnel and facilities limit the number of participants per session. Regardless of your orientation date, you will receive a complete schedule of courses for the fall semester. Soon after you complete your online reservation and payment, you will receive a confirmation via U.S. mail identifying your secured date and providing additional program information such as arrival times, where to park and what to bring with you.
