Orientation
Marietta College is committed to your success from the day you first arrive until your graduation. Starting with New Student Orientation, which is held the first week of your arrival, and continuing with your First Year Seminar and Lab, we will assist you in making a successful transition from high school to college.
Orientation is required for all entering freshmen and transfer students.
It also is the start of your First Year Experience, a required 3 credit-hour academic class. The cost of the program is $270, which covers the program, socials, food, housing, materials and staffing. The fee will appear on your initial bill for the fall, which you will receive in July.
Shortly after Orientation, the student organization fair, called "Club MC," is held. Students from most campus organizations offer information about their organizations during this activity fair. You can "shop" for the clubs and groups you're interested in, and sign up!
