New Student Orientation held July 14 - 15 at ECSU

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE---New Student Orientation will be held two additional times, this summer at Elizabeth City State University for freshmen and their families on the following dates:

July 14 - 15

August 11 - 12

An informative session will begin at 9 a.m. on July 14 in the auditorium of the Mickey L. Burnim Fine Arts Center. There, students and parents will greet student and university leaders and begin a full day of presentations and tours. The Counseling Center coordinates the New Student Orientation program (NSO) for new freshmen and transfer students. NSO introduces new students to university programs and services, and provides an opportunity for new students to interact with staff, faculty, and administrators. During NSO, new students also receive academic advisement and register for classes. All new students are required to attend an orientation program prior to enrolling in the fall or spring semester.

Advance placement testing (Computer-based Math, Reading and Writing) will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. one day prior to the first day of orientation. Students should report to the Information Technology Center (ITC) at least 15 minutes prior to testing time.

If you need special accommodations for testing, call (252) 335-3273.
