All first-year and transfer students are required to attend an orientation program. Orientation is your chance to learn about the university, ask questions, register for classes, get to know your fellow classmates, and begin your adventure as a new student! 

Information about the January 2018 and summer 2018 orientation programs will be posted soon. In the meantime, contact enrollment management with questions at 978.542.7455 or orientation@salemstate.edu.
