呸!咄!程序
金沙博彩大学 recognizes that the first year of college is a very important time for students. It's a time filled with excitement and new opportunities, but it can also bring about stress and uncertainty as students adjust to a new environment and increased academic demands. As a result, 金沙博彩大学 has developed a First-Year Experience (FYE) program specifically designed to assist first-time-in-college (FTIC) students in making a smooth and successful transition into college life.
A good starting point is to become familiar with some of the terms you may encounter along your college journey.
关键日期和截止日期
Another crucial step in making a successful transition to college is knowing when things are happening. 金沙博彩大学 offers a couple of different resources to stay on top of important dates through an academic and master calendar.
校历
A concise one-page list of important academic deadlines, including census dates, withdraw deadlines, class start and end dates, final exam dates, and major holidays.
主日历
A detailed month-by-month calendar showing dates and deadlines for class start and end dates, registration deadlines, payment deadlines, appeal deadlines, housing move-in dates, major holidays, commencement dates, and due dates for final grades.

It is very important that all FTIC students complete orientation prior to attending classes. This is because it helps new students acclimate to their new environment, both academically and socially. It provides essential information about campus resources, academic expectations, and support services, helping students feel more confident and prepared for the challenges ahead. Orientation also offers opportunities to meet peers, faculty, and staff, fostering a sense of community and belonging that is crucial for a successful college experience.

Prior to attending orientation, it is very important that you complete the following pre-orientation activities. That way you can begin registering for classes at the conclusion of orientation, ensuring that you get your most preferred schedule.
