Dear Olivet College Students and Parents:

I am very excited you have decided to attend Olivet College this fall. The campus community is looking forward to having you join our family. In addition, we are committed to helping you make a smooth transition to college life while providing the best possible learning environment to meet your educational goals.

As a new student at Olivet, you are required to attend an orientation session this summer. During this time, you will meet with faculty, staff and student mentors to plan your classes for the upcoming semester. You and your parents will also have the opportunity to meet with staff members who can answer questions regarding financial aid, housing and dining services.

There are nine half-day, New Student Orientation sessions offered this summer. Each session will include approximately 40-50 students and will run from 8:30 a.m. to noon. It is to your benefit to signup and attend orientation as soon as possible to receive the best class selection.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-456-7189 or call the admissions office directly at (269) 749-7635.

Again, welcome to Olivet College!

President Donald L. Tuski '85, Ph.D.
