In order to get acquainted with Georgia Southwestern and campus life, new students are required to attend New Student Orientation. Freshmen are given a variety of resources and instructions throughout these events to help maximize their learning experience.
This process for first-year students consists of two required programs and an additional optional opportunity:
Storm Day provides students an introduction to the academic life and expectations of a first-year student at GSW. At Storm Day, you will meet with faculty in your academic college, register for classes, set up your online platforms, and pick up your student ID.
Freshman Orientation is your first step in transitioning into your role as a student at GSW. During orientation, you will learn about campus resources that are available to help you succeed, meet faculty in your academic college, familiarize yourself with campus, meet student leaders, and be officially welcomed into the University family during Freshman Convocation. Freshman Convocation is an opportunity for you to reflect on your educational endeavor and the commitment of GSW to support you in the pursuit of your goals.
