Academic
Orientation Programs
The
Office of Orientation and Off-Campus Services offers accepted
students academic orientation programs during the summer and
winter months that provide a variety of resources to support
their transition into Boston University. Whether students
are used to the fast pace of an urban area or the slower pace
of a rural community, Academic Orientation will make their
transition easier. Orientation ensures that accepted students
are properly registered for their classes and introduces them
to the campus community. Students also participate in workshops
and meet with an academic advisor from the faculty. For more
information about Academic Orientation, please visit http://www.bu.edu/orientation.
