Freshman Students

Freshman Orientation is a fun-filled two-day session (students entering fall term) which students and parents/guests interact with Laker Orientation Leaders to receive first-hand information and experiences regarding Clayton State University.

  • Freshmen who do not have any transferable college credit (excluding AP credits) are required to attend the two day orientation program.
  • Freshmen who has transferable college credits from another university/institution should register for the Transfer Express orientation session.

During orientation, freshman stay in a residence hall, meet other freshmen, meet with academic advisors, register for classes, and get a “snap shot” of college life at CSU. A concurrent parent/guest program is offered during this session.
