Since its foundation in 1955, Haigazian University has implemented the Orientation Program viewing it as the cornerstone for the students’ success in college. As a matter of fact, the program has developed beneficial tools that would help students integrate in the University’s culture and that would support them throughout their learning career. 

To fulfill its mission, the Orientation Office has developed an efficient program, collected appropriate reading materials, and designed series of learning sessions and activities enabling the new enrollees to get acquainted with HU culture, rules and regulations, quality programs, and communal and spiritual life.  The Orientation Program objectives are to train the students to develop their abilities to think, research, study, and learn; the program encourages them to understand, respect, and tolerate diversity, and it guides them through the management of their time and life. Therefore, the Orientation Program is the key to the students’ University success.

On the other hand, the Orientation Office has strived to adapt to the different changes in both University and society and continually examines the needs of University students. In addition to that, the Orientation Office conducts regular assessment and evaluation of its program. It works closely with the Administration as well as the various academic departments at the University in order to lead the students to bridge the gap between High School and University and facilitate their transition into a higher academic environment. 

Finally, the Orientation Office invites and encourages all newcomers to HU, i.e., Faculty members as well as students and their parents, to call, e-mail, or visit the Orientation Office and to benefit from its valuable program and services.
