Welcome to College of Saint Mary! 

The orientation staff has been busy preparing a great day for you and your family! During orientation we will familiarize you with many campus resources, including the Express Center, the Achievement Center, the Lied Fitness Center, and other services and staff. If you have not yet registered for fall classes, you will meet with an advisor and complete the registration process.  If applicable to you, there is an opportunity for a campus tour, a parent session, and a session for new residents who will be living on campus.  This combination of activities will give you a great start before beginning your fall classes.
