Orientation Session for New Students
Orientation Session for New Students
All new students entering the Art History and Communication Studies undergraduate programs are required to attend an information session prior to registration. The orientation, or Departmental Advising Fair, will take place on the first business day following "Discover 海角社区" in late August/early September.
At the Advising Fair, the Academic Adviser will explain the requirements of the Department's programs. Incoming students will have an opportunity to ask questions and receive advice on how to plan their courses. Afterwards, students may meet individually with an adviser regarding registration. Students may sign up for advising appointments after the Departmental Advising Fair.
