In a word...YES!  All new first year students must attend a summer Orientation program.  If you have an unusual, financial, or special circumstance that prevents you from attending Orientation, please contact the Office of New Student Orientation at 315-341-2240 as soon as possible.  We will do our best to assist you.  Only extenuating circumstances will be considered.

For students who are "late admits" (admitted to the college after July 15th) a final Orientation will be held in August just before classes begin.
