Adult Degree Program Orientation

Orientation sessions for Adult Degree Program students (containing many of the elements of Setonian Day, but designed for the adult student) are held five times a year, prior to the beginning of each Adult Degree Program session.

Graduate Program Orientation

Orientation sessions for specific graduate programs are held throughout the year.

Once a student is accepted, Seton Hill will provide him/her with registration information for an orientation session.  If you are a new student who has not yet been contacted by Seton Hill, please feel free to call or email your Admissions Counselor, or the Office of Admissions: admit@setonhill.edu.  If you are a new student in the Adult Degree Program or a graduate program, please contact gadmit@setonhill.edu or 1-800-826-6234.
