TRANSFER STUDENT

ORIENTATION

Two Options:

TRANSFER EXPRESS EXPERIENCE
Saturday, August 26, 2023
9:30am-1:00pm

FULL ORIENTATION EXPERIENCE
Friday, August 25, 2023 thru
Sunday, August 27, 2023

We know that our Transfer students come to us with different needs and wants for their orientation experience. That’s why we offer two options for you. An “Express Experience” that is hyper-focused on the transfer transition process to Maryville, or you are welcome to Join us for the full orientation to really get the full weekend experience. Both options are great, choose the one that works best for you! Also, don’t feel locked in, if you join us for the “Express Experience” and decide to stay longer – that works too!
