New Student Orientation

The mandatory program is called COMPASS, Campus Orientation Meetings to Prepare for Academic and Social Success, and takes place on campus during the four days before the first day of class in each section.  (Students starting in January and April attend orientation the Friday before classes begin.) 

COMPASS is planned by upperclass students who have already experienced the "first day of class" and can provide valuable input on "what new students need to know" to be successful at Kettering.
