Francis Marion University recognizes that the choice to attend college is one of the most important decisions a person can make. The University also recognizes that this decision impacts a student's entire family. In response to this unique time in the life of a student and his/her family, parents and/or guardians are encouraged to attend FMU's Orientation Program with their student. Each program includes information regarding academic advisement and registration. Students and their families have an opportunity to meet with faculty, staff, and students during this program. Information sessions are also provided to assist students as they prepare for the transition from high school to college. The Orientation Program is required for all new freshmen and transfer students.
