 Orientation
promises to be a fun-filled, information-packed five days. Orientation is the
first step to ensuring a successful academic and social transition to Methodist
University. New students will have the opportunity to move in to their residence
hall, meet fellow classmates and meet with their academic advisor for the first
time. You must pay your enrollment
deposit to participate in the orientation activities, get a course
schedule and get a housing assignment. Check-in is scheduled for 8 am - 1:00
pm on Thursday, August 14. All new residential students (including residential
transfer students) and commuting freshman are expected to participate in all
Orientation activities. Commuting transfer students should participate in all
