Orientation

All full-time first-year students are required to take part in the New Student Orientation program. There are several orientation sessions during the summer and a final session just before the beginning of the fall semester. During the orientation sessions new students are introduced to the University; meet John Carroll students, faculty, and administrators; take part in appropriate placement testing; receive academic advisement; and register for courses in the upcoming semester.  Information on the New Student Orientation program is sent to students in sufficient time to enable them to choose an appropriate session. Incoming first-year students are not permitted to register for courses prior to the orientation sessions.

There are also Transfer Registration Days in January and August for incoming transfer students.
