About Orientation
Congratulations and welcome to SUNY Oneonta!
At orientation, new students learn about SUNY Oneonta’s academic and behavioral expectations, college values, traditions and social opportunities; as well as connecting with other new students, returning students, faculty and staff members. Our goal is to provide information that will help you find your path to success at SUNY Oneonta. Our program is designed to give you the information that you, and your family members, need at key points in your transition to our Red Dragon Community.
