IT'S HERE!
ONLINE ORIENTATION MODULE ACCESS
We are excited to announce the launch of our online Orientation modules! As you know, we made the decision back in May to shift our Orientation program online for the summer, due to the impact of COVID-19.

For our incoming students, the online Orientation modules will provide you with information and resources to prepare you for your arrival on campus in the fall. You can access the online Orientation experience by visiting curry.edu/orientation2020. We ask students to complete the module by June 30, 2020 so that you are aware of important information prior to selecting your fall courses.

For our families, this experience will provide you with information and resources pertinent to your experience as new members of the Curry community. You too can access the online Orientation experience by visiting curry.edu/familyorientation2020.

Have You Registered Yet?
Students must complete the registration form found on the New Student Checklist, on the myCurry portal. This form provides us with details as well as your intention to complete the online Orientation experience.
Register In Advance - Virtual Engagement Sessions for Students & Families
As a complement to the online Orientation modules due June 30, we are excited to host virtual engagement sessions throughout the months of July and August.

These sessions will help students and families learn more about the Curry College experience and provide an opportunity to engage with the Orientation Leaders, Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, Athletics, and Student Financial Services staff. We encourage you to review the calendar of events and register for any and all sessions of interest to you.

Meet Your Orientation Team!
Each new student will engage with a member of the Orientation Team during the virtual Orientation experience. As a member of the team, an Orientation Leader (OL) is an upper-class student who helps new students adjust to life on campus during the summer and fall orientation programs. You will have the opportunity to virtually meet the OLs this summer and reconnect with them during Welcome Weekend. OLs are a great resource for students and families regarding questions about life at Curry.

Excited About Scheduling Classes For Fall?
Fall course registration will take place in early to mid-July. More information on how to sign-up for an advising appointment will be forthcoming as part of the virtual summer Orientation experience.

Important Note:
Students must complete the Student Online Orientation modules prior to class advising registration.
Finding Ways To Support YOU! - College Student Inventory (CSI)
At Curry, we pride ourselves on providing students the support and resources they may need to be successful – but first we need to know a little bit about who you are. This survey will help us get to know you and your classmates a little better. We ask you to complete this survey by July 1.

You have already received an email in early June from Carrie Cokely, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs ( carrie.cokely@curry.edu) with a unique link for you to use to complete the survey.
Questions?
As you embark on your exciting first year of college at Curry, you are bound to have questions for which you don't know the answer. Our goal is to anticipate those questions and concerns with email and website communications.

However, if you have a question that we have not yet addressed, or if you are having trouble getting to the proper resources, please email fye@curry.edu for assistance.
