What will new
freshmen learn at orientation?
When you enter Central Michigan University, you will have to find
your way around campus and live with a new set of roommates. You will
have to find the library and enroll in classes. These topics, and
many more, will be discussed in an orientation session. For example,
you will:
- Meet classmates, student leaders, professors and academic advisors to
learn about the university experience.
- Select and register for your first semester classes.
- Meet with representatives from university support offices, such as
Scholarships and Financial Aid, Student Employment Services, and
Residence Life.
What will transfer
students do at orientation?
We recognize that the needs of new Central Michigan University
transfer students are very specific. At orientation, you will have an
opportunity to have your most general university questions answered
as well as the most detailed. Students attending transfer orientation
will:
- Meet other transfer students.
- Register for first semester classes with the assistance of
academic advisors.
- Visit with representatives from university support offices such
as Scholarships and Financial Aid.

you and your family with a comprehensive introduction to the
university prior to your first registration for classes.

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

In addition to academic orientation, campus and community
life orientation for freshmen entering in the fall semester
will be held August 21 through 24 before classes begin on
August 25. Attendance at these meetings is
required. You will receive a schedule of events
when you check into your residence hall on August 21 or 22.
Scheduling an Orientation Session is easy.
Upon admission to Central Michigan University, an admit kit
is mailed to you. Within this kit is information regarding
payment of the new student orientation fee. After the fee is paid and
received by CMU, detailed orientation information is mailed to you
so you can choose an orientation date which fits your
schedule.
