New Student Orientation
August 16, 2012 – August 19, 2012
Orientation is mandatory for all new students entering the Guilford College community. Please plan accordingly.
Orientation is your bridge to the first semester. During orientation, 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 the weekend 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.
Disability Resources Orientation will be held August 15 – 16 and is available to the first 20 students who submit this online registration form.
