Orientation

During summer and J-term orientation sessions, students are advised in small groups. Prospective students, especially transfer students, are encouraged to attend the first orientation session in the summer. At orientation and advisement, students fill out an advisement form, state their fashion concentration and have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a faculty member.
