We know the transition to a new school, while exciting, can also be confusing as you navigate new technology, new policies, and a new environment. As your Newnan advisors, we want to do everything we can to smooth this process and help you feel more prepared. To that end, we've developed specific pre-health and pre-law sessions as well as Academic Peer Leader drop-in sessions to answer common questions. These sessions are entirely optional, so if you want the additional support, please join us!
If you are looking for guidance and support before attending your Virtual Orientation Academic Advising Appointment, we encourage you to attend one of our pre-orientation information sessions. Our webinars are designed to help you smoothly transition into UM. You'll gain insights into:
Remember, if you decide to attend U-M, you must register for a mandatory virtual advising date through the Office of New Student Programs (ONSP) as attending this webinar does not count as your orientation.
About a week after you pay your enrollment deposit, you will receive an email from ONSP with directions and dates for registering for an orientation session, so check your UMICH email for that information.
No registration is needed for these optional virtual webinars. Simply choose a session that suits your schedule and use this Zoom link to join a webinar. All sessions are in Eastern Time.

Are you a first-generation college student, meaning none of your parents or guardians has completed a 4-year college or university degree? Have you attended your virtual academic advising date? If you’ve answered “yes” to both of these questions, we are excited to invite you to our upcoming virtual informational sessions for incoming first-generation students!
During this session, you will learn more about the LSA Newnan Academic Advising Center and how advisors can assist you in completing your LSA degree requirements. Newnan advisors will also provide helpful information and advice regarding your first semester (and beyond) in the College of LSA and answer any questions you may have after completing your virtual academic advising session.
