Orientation and registration typically occurs throughout the summer for the fall semester and throughout the months of December and January for those who are enrolling in the spring semester.  

Main Campus (Fall)

• Invitations will be sent to all deposit paid (or waived) transfer students in late May. Orientation will include an extensive advisement and course registration session. Students may choose to attend for the day, or to arrive the day prior to orientation for an optional overnight.  Fall 2013 orientation sessions are scheduled for June 21 and July 20. 
   
• For those students who cannot make it to orientation, registration will also be available online.  

Main Campus (Spring)

• There is no specific orientation session for transfer students entering SUNY Plattsburgh in the spring semester. Rather, registration will be completed online in consultation with an academic department chairperson. Other orientation activities for new students will be held opening weekend.
