 The New Undergraduate
Student
Orientation Program
is designed to introduce new students to the unique
educational experience at St. Edward's University.
Orientation at St. Edward's University is a process
made up of intentional programming that integrates
the students into a new cultural, intellectual and
social climate that is grounded in Holy Cross Tradition.
Undergraduate Orientation is a deliberate, collaborative
institutional process where topics are addressed and
relationships are fostered in an effort to transition
new students into the campus community. The New Undergraduate
Student Orientation Program consists of four tracks,
including, Freshman Orientation, Transfer Orientation,
International Orientation, and Parent Orientation.
Students may choose from
six orientation sessions throughout the summer. Students
entering the spring semester will attend a January orientation
session. New Undergraduate Student Orientation includes
an introduction to the SEU curriculum, student services,
and University activities. Events planned during orientation
provide opportunities to meet other new students, as
well as SEU faculty, staff, student leaders, and administrators.
In addition, some academic placement testing is provided
so that students may choose courses appropriate to their
proficiencies. For more information, contact the Dean
of Students Office at (512) 448-8408. |
