Is orientation mandatory?
As stated on page 36 of the 2006-2008 Undergraduate Bulletin, All new students are required to attend an Orientation/Registration Session. In order for a new student to register for their first semester of courses at MSU, they must attend an Orientation program. Students transferring in from another University do have the option to complete the process individually on their own.
Certain events are mandatory for all new students. These events begin on Monday, September 7. (See schedule for further details.) . Beyond that, we highly encourage you to attend all other events because Orientation is an integral part of your success at Azusa Pacific University. It is designed specifically for you as a new student as well as for new APU family members. Even if you have had relatives or friends attend APU in the past, you will want to come and learn about all the new additions that we make every year.
I’m going to be moving into my dorm on this upcoming sunday and we are suppose to have some orientation in the afternoon through tuesday. I have way better things to be doing like preparing for my classes and such and I don’t really have a problem making friends on my own. Suggestions and comments please…
