Orientation & Summer Edge

Slug Orientation is a mandatory academic program that is designed to assure you start strong from the first day. Slug Orientation is different than Summer Edge or Summer Session.

All incoming students must complete Slug Orientation which includes a one-credit course. Students who choose to particpate in the Summer Edge program take additional classes alongside their one-credit Slug Orientation Course.
