Orientation

Important Orientation Information

August 2020 Start  

In keeping with the guidelines mandated by the Governor of Pennsylvania to protect people’s health and safety, Mansfield University will be offering New Student Orientation via an online modality. The Office of New Student Orientation reached out to all who had already registered for an on campus date. For those who did not previously register, the payment of your Admissions deposit will automatically add your name to the list. All communication will be done through your Mansfield University email account so it would be best for you to know how to access this as soon as possible. Use the "Links and Downloads" tab on the left for assistance.

We expect to have our online Orientation ready to launch on or around June 1. Instructions on how to access our virtual experience will be sent to the student's Mansfield email account closer to the launch date. We appreciate your patience as we prepare to welcome our newest Mounties!

Due to the new online Orientation course, the policy for course placement in Math and English has been adjusted for this year only. No face-to-face testing will be offered this summer. Students who are required to take an online Math Placement test will be contacted individually.

All new incoming students are required to complete a Health Evaluation Report. Forms must be completed and submitted to the address on the form prior to the first day of classes or move in. If your form is completed before your orientation date we would be happy to relay it to the clinic for you, just bring it with you to orientation and submit it during the paperwork session at the end of the day.

For questions regarding transfer credits, please contact the Office of Admissions at 570-662-4243.
