Orientation for New Students

Olivet Nazarene University seeks to assist in every way possible to orient its students to the academic, social, and spiritual life of the University. The orientation program consists of a variety of activities, including testing, student-parent orientation sessions, and other transitional activities especially designed to assist the student in launching a successful college career.

Orientation programs for incoming students are sponsored by the University during the summer months prior to the opening of school and at the beginning of the spring semester. At this time, each new student will visit the campus with his or her parents, participate in the advising program, register for the first semester of academic work, and make his or her housing selection. Special orientation sessions will be held with the parents to acquaint them with the University program.

The orientation program is under the direction of the Director of Admissions and the Associate Dean of Instruction.
