New Student Orientation

On behalf of Alfred State College, we would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the incoming students and their families. In order to help in your transition, Alfred State has put together a new student orientation for the whole family. Guided by some of ASC’s finest students, the orientation program works with other departments like Admissions, Academics, Health Services, Student Life, Athletics and more to make sure you have all of your questions answered by the time you end your day.

Our goal for new students and their families is not only to introduce them to the rich history of Alfred State College, but also begin a relationship that will continue on well after graduation.

2008 orientation team

• "My son and I had a blast, thanks for taking away the anxiety!" – Parent at orientation
• "The staff was amazing, thanks for all the help." – Student at orientation
• “It was a great time; all students should go to it. I met a lot of parents who live around us as well!” – Parent at overnight orientation

*Please note: Orientation is very strongly encouraged for all full-time new and transfer students. The $100 orientation fee will be assessed whether or not the student participates in orientation. Part-time, internet, and readmission students are not required to attend and they will not be charged the orientation fee.
