First Things First
As a new student, you may feel overwhelmed trying to adjust to University
life. Finding your way around campus and learning all of the policies
can seem a bit confusing at first. Don't worry. The University sponsors
several programs designed to introduce you to the activities and services
available to you at Marshall.
Orientation
http://www.marshall.edu/orientation/
Orientation is a one-day program in June, July and August that all new
students are expected to attend. The Orientation program is designed
to answer any questions you may have and let you explore the campus.
More importantly, the Orientation program allows you to sit down with
an advisor, plan your Fall schedule and then register for classes.
UNI 101: New Student Seminar

UNI 101 is a class taught by Marshall faculty/staff members for incoming
students and transfer students. Lasting either 8 or 16 weeks, UNI 101
helps students plan out a career while learning everything from research
skills to computer literacy. Some UNI 101 classes are college specific (ie College of Business students, College of Science students). Each fall special interest sections are also offered (ie adult student issues, African American student issues, outdoor adventures).
