This program is specifically for students who are coming to Madonna right from high
school or home school environments. Students coming to Madonna University directly
from high school are part of our First-Year Experience program, which guides them
through a series of events intended to ease the transition to the University. Students
are required to attend an orientation program during the summer prior to starting
at the institution.
We are currently working to provide students a robust orientation program that will
combine both in-person and online components, to best ensure safety and social-distancing.
Students will be scheduling classes individually with our Academic Advising team prior
to attending Orientation.
On-Ground Orientation:
On-ground Orientation will work to connect you to the Madonna campus, help you meet
new classmates, and connect with on-campus resources, faculty, and staff. Our FYE
Peer Mentors (students who have successfully completed at least one year at Madonna
already) will spend the day with you and lead you through the program. At orientation,
you will be introduced to our wide range of academic, social, and service-learning
opportunities. You also will learn about other First-Year events and programs designed
to answer your questions and help you achieve academic success.
Online Orientation:
Once you RSVP for an on-ground Orientation date, you will be sent a link to complete
a self-guided online Orientation. This will be required to complete before attending
your on-ground Orientation day. This will include great information for you regarding
on-campus resources, the campus community, student life, and Madonna's mission/history.
