First Year Seminar
Now that you're officially a Red Fox, you can begin the necessary steps to prepare for your first semester! One of your first steps is to make your First Year Seminar (FYS) selection. This is a unique opportunity for you to customize your schedule with a class that best fits your interests. Course descriptions will be forthcoming. FYS classes range from Comics & Maps & Medieval Manuscripts, to Murder, Madness, & Mental Mayhem, and all have dedicated professors ready to answer all your questions!
Parent/Family Orientation
The first year of college, and the summer preceding it, are a time of celebration and change for you and your family. You are an important part of the Marist community, and the role you play in your student's successful transition to college cannot be underestimated!
For these reasons, we hold a special Parent/Family Orientation each year that runs concurrently with our student program. Parent/Family Orientation will offer insights into student life, academic resources, campus policies, Parent Council activities, and more. Parent/Family Orientation will occur both in-person and virtually on the same dates as the student program.
