Orientation
and First Year Programs assists with the new and challenging
college environment that first-year students face. Orientation
and First Year Programs support a learning environment
that extends throughout the year and allows for a variety
of creative academic and co-curricular activities. Initiatives
of the program are directly related to enhancing the student's
experience in and outside of the classroom. Through these
initiatives first-year students can become more connected
to BGSU and become more involved in their own learning.
Orientation
& Registration creates a welcoming environment for
new students and their families. Through Orientation &
Registration, students become familiar with the University's
values, expectations and services while registering for
their first semester classes with the assistance of faculty
and advisors.
The
University Success Course (UNIV 100) is a two-credit-hour
course that serves as an introduction to higher education
and an on-going orientation to BGSU resources, academic
skills and social issues. It is designed to help new students
adjust to college life and establish skills that will
allow them to be successful at BGSU. Theme sections of
the course are available that can serve as a vehicle for
new students to increase the connection to their academic
major or interest.
