program dates
All new freshmen are required to attend one of the four Orientation sessions and the corresponding Testing Day, if applicable. Freshmen who live a reasonable distance from Saint Mary’s are expected to attend one of the June sessions, as the August program is reserved for out-of-state freshmen, all transfer students and international students. In the spirit of our Lasallian heritage, the weekend session was created for families whose work schedule makes attending Orientation during the week a hardship. The program will run from 8am-5:00pm and we ask that you make your travel plans accordingly. Please select one of the following four Orientation sessions.
Choose One:
| Session I: | Wednesday, June 17, 2009 (Testing Day is Tuesday, June 16, 2009) |
| Session II: | Wednesday, June 24, 2009 (Testing Day is Tuesday, June 23, 2009) |
| Session III*: | Sunday, June 28, 2009 (Testing Day is Saturday, June 27, 2009) *For families whose work schedule makes attending orientation during the week a hardship. |
| Session IV**: | Wednesday, August 26, 2009 (Testing Day is Tuesday, August 25, 2009) **For out of state freshmen, all transfer and international students |
Freshman students who need to take the Mathematics Diagnostic Exam must do so before their Orientation date.
