Yes, Orientation is an important step in your experience as a student at UMFK. You will have the opportunity to schedule your classes and meet other new and current students.
You are encouraged to bring a notepad, pen, and any questions you have about UMFK. You will be outside at times, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
Students moving into residence halls can find a full list of items they should bring (and what should be left home) here.

You are welcome to bring guests to Orientation. Guests will be responsible for the cost of their meals if they are interested in attending breakfast or lunch with you.

Members of the faculty and staff will also be there to meet with you to be successful as you pursue your degree.
