New Student Orientation Program and Requirement

Each Fall Term, Centre College conducts a required orientation program for new students. The orientation program starts five days before classes begin and extends into the first half of the term with weekly classes. The goal of the program is to help new students make a successful transition into college and into the Centre experience. All new students are required to participate fully in the program. Students who fail to satisfy the participation requirements of the orientation program will have one credit hour of the grade “U” added to their transcripts and included in their cumulative grade average. That grade may not be replaced or removed through participation in subsequent programs.
