Continuing Education Students

Continuing education students have a different orientation process. Please contact Samantha “Sam” Cosentino, Student Success specialist for your next steps. Book an appointment directly with Sam here, or call 978.542.4923.

We are thrilled to welcome you to the Salem State University community. As your student embarks on their transition into campus and academic life, we know you’ll play a vital role in supporting their journey. To help you navigate this exciting transition, we invite you to join us for our Viking Family and Supporters Orientation—a special one-day program designed just for you. This orientation will provide essential information to help you support your student as they settle into campus life.

Each student is allowed one registered supporter to attend the orientation program. Please complete the registration process to secure your spot.
