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!
Orientation app will be coming in August!
