Orientation for students and their families is designed to help facilitate a smooth transition for all new students as they embark on a new chapter of their lives at SCAD. Through a variety of activities, orientation participants become acquainted with the academic environment and support services and facilities at the university while reviewing important policies and procedures. As part of their welcome to the SCAD community, new SCAD students have the chance to meet and interact with current student leaders, faculty and administrators. All new students are strongly encouraged to attend.
In addition, new students' family members learn ways to support their students during the changes and new experiences they'll encounter in the transition to college life. Visit MySCAD for orientation updates. For additional information, call 912.525.4400 (Savannah) or 852.2253.8000 (Hong Kong).
