Academic and Campus Integration
All students must complete the course scheduling survey in Your Connection. This will assist the Advising Services Office to create your course schedule for the fall semester. Schedule adjustments can be made during an academic advising appointment in July following the completion of the FREDReady mini-course in FREDLearn (see below).
We have designed a two-step process to prepare both first-year and transfer students for the transition to Fredonia.
- Step One is to complete of an online mini-course called FREDReady, that is located within a student's FREDLearn account beginning mid June.
- Step Two is to participate in an academic advising appointment in July and once the FREDReady mini-course is complete.
Move-in for new students takes place on Thursday, August 22 between 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
New Student Orientation, or the official introduction to the campus community, takes place during the three days following move-in. Students participate in an NSO Workshop, activities that assist a student to become oriented with campus and their new environment, as well as key academic and community connection activities.
