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.
