The January Miniversity takes place during winter break, the
3-4 weeks that students have off between semesters. This year the new students'
orientation is on January 5, 2001. It starts at 9am and goes to approximately
5pm. The transfer students' orientation is on January 10, 2001 and starts
at 5pm and goes to approximately 9pm.
The new transfer students do not have as long of an orientation.
For the most part they are welcomed, meet with an advisor and then register
for classes and take ID photos if they have not already.
