ROAR Orientation Schedule
Welcome to ROAR Orientation!
Orientation is a requirement AND students MUST stay the WHOLE DAY and CAN NOT LEAVE EARLY or their hold will NOT be removed!
Students and parents have different schedules and will not be together all day! We do this to allow students to have a college experience before they start in the fall and so parents can get important information to help their students during their time at college!
*Please note that this schedule is subject to change*
