Central Michigan University's orientation program provides
you and your family with a comprehensive introduction to the

Whether you are a new freshman or a transfer student from
another college, you will get answers to your questions and
more at an orientation session. New undergraduate students
are required to attend orientation to finalize admission.
Orientation occurs in several phases:

service offices such as Career Services, Scholarships and
