(155 Elliott University Center)
Return to 2001-2002 UGB University Community Student Services Menu

The Office of Orientation coordinates a variety of programs which bring together faculty, administrators, and upperclass students to welcome new students to the campus and to assist with the transition process into the UNCG community. Programs have been designed to meet the needs of traditional andnontraditional students. Orientation activities include academic advising and registration for classes, along with tours of the campus and campus resource fairs. French, Latin and Spanish language placement tests are given at this time.

Students entering UNCG in the fall semester are expected to participate in Spartan Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR): Part I, Advising and Registration, takes place in early summer, and Part II, Spartan Welcome Weekend, occurs just prior to the beginning of fall classes in August. Likewise, orientation programs are planned for students entering UNCG in January, prior to the beginning of spring semester classes.
