Orientation

Barton College's Orientation Sessions are designed to help students and families become acclimated to our institution, expose new and transfer students to broad educational opportunities, and integrate our students and families into collegiate life.

During the two-day sessions, you will have the opportunity to meet some of your future classmates, friends, faculty, staff, and administration. You will be introduced to the academic programs and services provided by Barton College, such as academic advising, placement tests, and support services, all of which are an integral part of learning about a new place and a new experience. Additionally, an Orientation Leader will assist you in finding your way around campus and meeting new people.
