Orientation
All entering Waleska Campus freshmen and transfer students attend an orientation session. The Student Orientation program at Reinhardt provides information about University objectives, traditions, academic programs, and extracurricular activities. It also provides an excellent opportunity for new students to meet and make friends. Personal development, special events, and entertainment combine to make a meaningful, enjoyable experience. To continue the orientation process, all freshmen and transfer students will enroll in FYS 101, a three credit hour orientation course.
