If you are not going to be living on campus, you can check in any time between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. Go directly to Founders Hall, where you will receive your orientation schedule and have a chance to talk with campus administrators, faculty and student leaders. You will also receive a room key, telephone information and a Student ID and will have a chance to check in with the folks from health services, parking services and college work-study. You must check in on your arrival date in order to be officially "present" at the college.
Below is a list of scheduled events for the day. You will receive a more detailed agenda upon arrival. Please plan to arrive during the scheduled times. If you need to make alternative arrangements, you must contact the First Year Center at 336-316-2425.
Along with a college welcome by President Kent John Chabotar and other members of the Guilford community, there will be time for you to settle into your room, for your family to meet college administrators and advisers, and for a campus tour.

CHAOS
New Student Orientation (CHAOS): August 19-24, 2009
CHAOS is mandatory for all new students entering the Guilford College community. Please plan accordingly.
CHAOS (Community, Health, Advising and Orientation Services) is your bridge to the first semester. During CHAOS, you'll get settled into your residence hall, spend time in small group discussions and activities, find out about campus resources, and focus in on some key issues for living in community: cultural diversity, learning styles and differences, and personal responsibility and decision-making. By the time CHAOS is over, you'll recognize familiar faces on campus, be clearer about your academic and personal goals and feel more confidence in yourself as a member of the Guilford community.
