Dear St. Vincent’s College Students,
The Faculty and Staff here at St. Vincent’s College are all looking forward to New Student Orientation on August 22nd and 23rd. Our Orientation program is unique from other institutions in that, our College welcomes new students with a comprehensive orientation program that allows students to meet directly with professors they will be working with as well as having current St. Vincent’s College students in nursing and radiography meet with the students who are enrolling in NUR and RAD 101 to discuss program requirements and other general College questions.
The following information is very important and will help assist you in preparation for your Orientation session:
*Orientation is required to attend for all students.
*Park in the Hospital Visitors Garage. Bring your ticket to Orientation for validation.
*Register for Orientation at http://www.stvincentscollege.edu/admissions/accepted-students/new-student-orientation/
Current St. Vincent’s College students enrolling in NUR 101:
At the focused NUR 101 session, students will meet with Associate Dean for Nursing Maryanne Davidson and Professor Debra Giesen. In this session, you will meet additional nursing faculty, receive an overview on academic policies, procedures and student resources, discuss dress code and uniforms, learn about the Skills Lab and Pocket Nurse and meet with current nursing students.
St. Vincent’s College anticipates 90 students will enroll in NUR 101 for the fall term. Therefore, to provide the high quality one-on-one attention we are noted for, the Nursing program has preassigned students to a NUR 101 Orientation session.
Students whose last name begins with the letters A through L have been assigned to the August 22 Orientation. This session starts at 10:00 a.m. at 2660 Main Street campus in room M304.
Students whose last name begins with the letters M through Z have been assigned to the August 23 Orientation. This sessions starts at 2:00 p.m. at the Huntington Street campus in room H220.
Current St. Vincent’s College students enrolling in RAD 101:
At the focused RAD 101 session, students will meet with Program Chair Terry Hine and Professor Robin Smith. In this session, students will receive an overview on academic policies, procedures and student resources, discuss dress code and expectations as well as meet with current radiography students.
All Radiography students enrolled in RAD 101 have been assigned to the August 23 Orientation. The session starts at 10:00 a.m. at the 2660 Main Street campus in room M301.
St. Vincent’s College Orientation for new students:
The College team has prepared a comprehensive orientation that includes a presentation on the College’s Mission & Ethics, Campus Safety and Security as well as information on Student Affairs. The student affairs address will include information on the bookstore, career services, disability services, computer labs and student organizations.
The College is fortunate to enroll a number of new students in Pre-Nursing, Pre-Radiography and Certificate programs.
Again, students have been preassigned to an orientation session.
Students enrolling in radiography program courses and students pursing certificate programs have been assigned to the August 23 Orientation Session I. This orientation session starts with an 8:00 a.m. check-in at the 2660 Main Street campus.
Students enrolling in Pre-Nursing courses have been assigned to the August 23 Orientation Session II. This orientation session starts with a 12:00 p.m. check-in at the 2660 Main Street Campus.
There are approximately 11 new nursing students who will enroll in NUR 101. This group is required to attend the Session II orientation at the 2660 Main Street Campus at 12:00 p.m. and the 2:00 p.m. Seminar for Nursing Students in NUR 101 at the Huntington Street campus at 2:00 p.m.
Attached with this letter are the orientation schedule and a map of the campus.
