Orientation Program

A student Orientation program plays an important role in a student’s transition to undergraduate life. Orientation programs are aimed at familiarizing the students with unknown campus environments, faculties, and infrastructure. It enables them to make the essential connection with studies and develop a network among other peers. “Where will be my class room, What will be my majors, what is the course structure.” Umpteen numbers of questions loom in the minds of students when they start their college life.

Orientation Programme Meaning

At the beginning of the first year, students need to be made acquainted with their surroundings on the campus. This includes introductory sessions, giving them an overview of under-graduation life, the rules, and regulations mandated for each student in a particular college. It is an essential period at the beginning of the college session, allowing the students to settle in their new environment. The teacher coordinator of every stream sets a model of an introductory orientation program that includes academic as well as social activities.

The three basic goals of any university/college when organizing an orientation are:

• Introducing students to their college life.
• Incorporating them into the College environment..
• Allowing the College members and faculties to get connected to the new batch.

Introducing Students to a college life

This is the most essential aspect of an orientation program in any College, irrespective of the nature of the course. Students need to be made aware of the social environment of their college. This social factor most definitely includes the extracurricular activities, social clubs, events, workshops, and other special training programs available in the college course (0 Semester). This encourages them and helps them in getting socially integrated with the college culture. In the early few weeks (0 Semester) of the college itself, a student should be able to discover his interest in any of the college activities other than the mainstream course. Social involvement will make sure that students don’t lose interest in college life and hence are regular with their attendance. Introductory sessions most importantly aim at giving an overview of the academic course, pursued by the students. By giving a rough idea of academic expectations, students are prepared for the challenges they might face during their under-graduationprograms.

Often in the orientation programs, eminent lecturers and experts in various fields are introduced to the new students, to mentally prepare them for awaited professional life they have set out to achieve.Orientation programsat the college also give opportunities to students where they can self-evaluate their aptitude level, by participating in discussion sessions. Attending Orientation enables students to make important connections with the collegiate environment, academic studies, peers, and network with the campus community.

Orientation programs serve as a foundation for college success. It sets a lasting impression on new students and their families. The main purpose of a good orientation session in a college is to bridge the gap between the faculty and the students, ensuring smooth communication between the two. A good orientation program should be designed in a manner that can answer all the queries of the students before they are asked. A structured orientation model can aid all the participants including students, faculty members, administration, parents, and current students. Orientation marks a successful beginning of a college session as it assures the new students that they made a good decision in their college choice. It also helps students prepare for a successful career with a clear vision of what lies ahead and what can be achieved at the end of their courses. Student Orientation is a warm-up session for students before they are ready to hit the ground for their final performance, for a successful career
