Various offices and departments work together to make these events a success and to aid our new students in their transition to SUNY Cortland. The campus community is invited to participate in these programs. New student advisement and registration will occur during the afternoons of all one-day programs and on the second day of two-day programs. Advisement and Transition will begin coordinating these efforts in March and will reach out to student services and academic departments with additional details.
For program information, refer to the orientation website at cortland.edu/orientation. Direct questions about the Orientation program to Advisement and Transition.
