Yes, all new first-year students are required to participate in Summer Orientation. Orientation is designed to assist you in completing the necessary steps prior to starting your first semester at ÎÞÓÇÊÓƵ.  

You are able to make changes to your orientation reservation at any time. However, we ask that you notify us at least seven days in advance of your scheduled date. You can email whitney.baker [at] ucumberlands.edu (whitney[dot]baker[at]ucumberlands[dot]edu) or call 606-539-4240 to reschedule your orientation date. Please do not schedule more than one date without canceling the other.  

Nope. No hidden fees, no fine print!  

Since orientation is a required program for all new students, you cannot cancel session attendance unless you have decided not to attend ÎÞÓÇÊÓƵ. Please see the question "Can I make changes to my Orientation registration?" for instructions on how to make changes to the date of your orientation session. 

Family and guest attendance is optional but encouraged. The Family Sessions will provide resources and contacts that will aid in student success at ÎÞÓÇÊÓƵ. There are no additional costs or fees for family and guests to attend orientation.  

All new, incoming students will have a registration hold on their account for the first semester to encourage students to work with a Student Success Coordinator on their schedule. The registration hold will be removed after your first semester.  

You should submit your final, official transcript(s) as soon as possible. 

If you are a domestic high school student, ask your school counselor to submit your final transcript electronically via email to admissions [at] ucumberlands.edu (admissions[at]ucumberlands[dot]edu) or through Parchment. If you are a transfer student, please contact the Registrar’s Office at your previous institution or submit an online request.

If you have taken dual credit or dual enrollment courses during high school, you will also need to submit an official transcript from the institution you took your coursework at. Students can still register for orientation without an official transcript, and your Student Success Coordinator can still work with you to plan out your course selections. However, we cannot post course credit without the final transcript on file.
