Understanding Your Students Orientation Session
Student Orientation will help your student explore Appalachian's academic and social life and assist your child with their transition to our campus.Advisors will help them plan a program of study specific to their needs, skills and interests. In addition, students can meet with professors in their area of interest and, of course, other new students. All new students, freshmen and transfer students, are required to attend Orientation.
Prior to Orientation, your student should:
- complete all appropriate online placement tests
- complete the Early Registration Advising (ERA) online tutorial and successfully complete the quiz
- register for first semester classes through Web Registration once he/she has completed the ERA quiz and received the access PIN via their appstate email account.
