We know that our Transfer students come to us with different needs and wants for their orientation experience. That鈥檚 why we offer two options for you. An 鈥淓xpress Experience鈥 that is hyper-focused on the transfer transition process to Maryville, or you are welcome to Join us for the full orientation to really get the full weekend experience. Both options are great, choose the one that works best for you! Also, don鈥檛 feel locked in, if you join us for the 鈥淓xpress Experience鈥 and decide to stay longer 鈥 that works too!
