Mercer's Orientation Programs
Mercer University provides new students with an orientation program designed to ease the transition into undergraduate, graduate, or professional study.  Each program provides its own orientation, unique to the needs of that program and its entering students.  During orientation, students will meet with faculty and staff, receive academic advising for their program of study, and learn about Mercer traditions, policies, and procedures. 

Please contact the individual listed below for more information regarding your program's orientation at the respective Mercer campus or center.
