Orientation is an opportunity to ensure your success.
College is very different from the work-day world or from high school, and getting started on the right foot is important. Orientation will offer an informed atmosphere in which to get acclimated and to start your Alfred State career.
Making a rapid transition is important. Your active participation in orientation offers you a head start on meeting key people in your academic area, recognizing the academic requirements of your curriculum, and getting to know the campus and services available. These are big steps on your road to success!
Many students have never been away from home for an extended period of time. Orientation will provide you with the tools you'll need to be prepared and successful, which helps make the transition smoother.
For students attending classes on the Alfred campus (School of Architecture, Management, and Engineering Technology and School of Arts and Sciences), your session will consist of an introduction to the myalfredstate.edu portal, learning how to access your schedule, and meeting several support staff members here to enhance your college experience.
For students attending classes on the Wellsville campus (School of Applied Technology), you will have a chance to visit the Wellsville campus and meet with the academic dean and student affairs personnel. In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss tool needs and have access to tool vendors. Before you complete the visit, you will also receive access to your fall class schedule.
Special note to transfer students: Not all colleges are the same. Orientation will help you become familiar with Alfred State's procedures and personnel. Please make sure that all appropriate transcripts are provided at least one week in advance so that you may complete orientation with your complete fall semester schedule.
See you soon!
