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 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 summer Preview Sessions will be held the following dates:

Session I               June 20-June 21

Session II              June 22 – June 23

Session III             July 11-12

Session IV             July 13-14

Session V              August 21-22*

* Session V is designed for Transferring Students, however it is available for students to attend who live further than 5 hours in driving distance from the College.

Registration materials for the Summer Preview Sessions will be mailed home to new students beginning May 5, 2008.

Fall Orientation will continue the process started at Preview by helping new students connect with their roommates and first year classmates, co- and extra-curricular activities, and the Faculty and academic curriculum. Fall Orientation will take place Friday-Sunday, August 22-24, 2008. Students will move into their residence hall rooms on Friday morning, August 22. Fall Orientation information is sent to the homes of incoming students during the first week in August.
