New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation.The New Student Orientation Program, facilitates the transition from high school or other universities to Tennessee Tech for all new students by providing a week of welcome and a year of programs targeted specifically for freshmen that are staffed by a friendly, well-trained student orientation team that helps connect the new students to faculty, staff, other students, and student organizations. The Tennessee Tech Connect orientation philosophy is that the more connections a student can make in his or her first three weeks of school the more likely the student is to enjoy his or her first year and the more likely the student is to stay in school and graduate. The four days prior to the beginning of school in the fall semester is considered to be “New Student Orientation.” The orientation program is supplemented by summer new student registration sessions and by non-registered new student sessions at the beginning of each academic semester.
