Transfer Student Orientation 2008

We are pleased to hear that you will be attending University of the Ozarks this fall! Our traditional new student Orientation will be held from Friday, August 22 through Monday, August 25. We hope that you are planning to participate fully in orientation. We believe that participating in orientation will make your transition into Ozarks much smoother! We also realize that transfer students who have experienced orientation at another college often feel that their attendance at orientation is not important, so we also created a single day Transfer Student Orientation on Monday, August 25, in order to facilitate your transition to University of the Ozarks. Below is the outline of the single day orientation we have developed as an efficient alternative to our traditional orientation only to students who have 24 or more transfer credit hours.

Even if you are unable to attend any other Orientation events, it is imperative that you attend this meeting.
