new student orientation
august 24-26, 2012Soon you will begin your college adventure at Huntington University! Our orientation program is designed to help you adjust academically, personally, socially, and spiritually.
We want to help you understand necessary policies and procedures while familiarizing you with campus services and opportunities. And of course, we can’t forget the importance of having you meet faculty, staff and other students!
The final orientation schedule will be posted here soon. Meanwhile, please refer to the sample schedule below.
Orientation is for all new students to Huntington - Commuter and Transfer students too! Check in any time between 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (EST) in the Merillat Centre for the Arts (MCA) lobby. Allow 30 minutes for the check-in process. Following check-in, you will be directed to your residence hall (if you are living on campus). Orientation officially begins with a New Student Dedication Service at 6:30 pm.
