When is Orientation and Registration?

Orientation and registration for new first year students will take place in June, 2007.  Accepted students will receive information regarding specific dates and times. Students must participate in the entire program in order to register for Fall 2007 classes.

Where do I check in?

Check-in takes place in the lobby of O'Connor Hall on State Street. Members of the Black & Gold Orientation team will be available to offer directions and assistance as you arrive on campus.

Who are the Black & Gold Orientation Leaders?

The Black & Gold Orientation Team is comprised of current students who are outstanding leaders in academics and who are involved in campus life at Framingham State College. They are trained to help you make a smooth transition to the College.

Muffins and coffee are available at check-in. First year students will be provided with lunch and a buffet style dinner at the conclusion of the program.

Can I bring my parents, other family members, or guests?

We have a Parent/Guest program designed specifically for the parents and guests of our new students. Parents and guests will have the opportunity to meet various administrators and faculty members, talk with department directors, take a tour of the campus, and have their questions answered. Parents and guests will spend the day attending sessions designed for them, while students will attend their own  separate program.
