Preview and Orientation are part of an ongoing and multi-faceted transition process for new Mount Union students, which involve academic, intellectual, and personal development. The primary goal of both Preview and Orientation is to assist new students in making purposeful connections within the College community to increase their future success as college students.

Preview, held during the summer months,  is designed to begin the college transition process for both students and parents. In addition to making student, faculty, staff and family connections, Preview will provide students with the foundation to succeed academically. This includes math and foreign language testing, learning about the general education requirements, and meeting with an academic advisor to schedule classes for the fall semester. The registration information for the 2009 summer Preview sessions will be available, beginning Monday, May 4, 2009.

Preview 2009 will take place on the following dates:
Session 1             June 19-20, 2009
Session 2             June 21-22, 2009
Session 3             July 10-11, 2009
Session 4             July 12-13, 2009

Fall Orientation, held in the fall prior to the first day of classes, is designed to continue to the transition to college process by introducing the new students to campus policies and procedures, as well as creating opportunities for students to make connections to the campus and to their classmates.  First year students also attend their first college class during the weekend’s activities, and all new students will participate in one of the oldest and most celebrated traditions at Mount Union, the Matriculation Convocation.

Fall Orientation 2009 will take place on:
August 28  - August 30, 2009
