The Office of New Student Programs serves as a central resource for first-year students, assisting students and their family members in transitioning to Miami University. Our Office coordinates 16 one-and-a-half day long Orientation Programs for first-year students in June, welcome events in August before the start of fall semester, and 1-credit optional transition courses for first-year students.
Second year programs are designed to better prepare sophomores for continued success academically and personally, to help sophomore students connect to Miami University, and help focus university resources on the needs of sophomore students.
