New
Student Orientation
At the beginning of each semester, freshman and transfer students
take part in a group orientation to Medaille College. Acquainting
students with Medaille's staff and dealing with common student problems
are the major emphases of the orientation program.
Orientation
provides students with an opportunity to work with Colllege faculty
and discuss academic procedures, expectations, and requirements. Orientation
also provides an easy way for new students to get acquainted with
each other and become familiar with the campus setting.
You
will be notified by mail as to the date for your orientation. The
College requires that each new student attend orientation.
Student
Handbook
Each year a Student Handbook is made available which includes the
information students need to know about campus life and activity.
It provides a handy reference for office hours, personnel, and services
that are important to all students.
ID's
Identification cards are required for all students and can be obtained
through the Student Affairs Office. They must be shown to use the
Academic Computer Center, the Kevin I. Sullivan Center, or to take
books from the Library. ID cards are also important for admission
to many student events.
