<p>"Students who attend Orientation feel better prepared, encounter fewer problems, and receive priority registration for the fall quarter before other students who do not attend Orientation. </p>
<p>During the one-day Orientation program (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) you will enroll in classes, learn to access campus resources, meet with college and department advisers, meet new and continuing students, learn about the many student organizations on campus, attend a resource fair, take your picture for your student ID card, attend breakout sessions, gain valuable student life information, and get your questions answered."</p>
