Great Beginnings & Parent Orientation

Entering freshmen are required to attend one of the four summer orientation sessions that we call Great Beginnings. At Great Beginnings, you will meet with an academic advisor to discuss and schedule your Fall semester classes, meet other new students and the Peer Mentors, and learn important information to consider as you make the transition to Maryville College. Great Beginnings also includes Parents' Orientation. We have a full schedule of workshops for your parents that will provide them with valuable information as they become MC parents, so please encourage them to attend Great Beginnings with you.
