UMBC students quickly find that learning at an honors university takes place in many different ways and in a variety of settings. The students who make the most of such an environment have a sense of personal mission: they aim to get the most out of their education and find themselves important members of a culture of success.
Orientation 2014 is where the adventure begins. The Orientation Program begins with placement testing in the spring, continues with Course Selection Day this summer and concludes with the Welcome Week celebration during the week preceding the start of classes. The program is designed to help students meeting one another, prepare for their academic careers at UMBC, embrace campus traditions and learn more about student life on- and off-campus.
Before you and your student attend Orientation this summer, be sure to check out the Orientation 2014 website. We're looking forward to seeing you soon!
After Orientation, be sure to stay connected to UMBC with the Family Connections Newsletter from the Division of Student Affairs. The Family Connections Newsletter is a publication to provide information on what is happening at the University. This can include tips, important dates, and useful articles to assist students in their academic endeavors.
