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.

Ongoing Programming and Support
The Office of Student Experience will offer additional support and programming for new students throughout your first semester. We know that you will have questions during your transition to college life at SUNY Oneonta. We are here to help you find answers! All new students will be assigned a Dragon Guide peer mentor. Your mentor will reach out to you during orientation to set up a time to connect with you. You will meet the Dragon Guides during orientation and they will help you throughout the semester with tips, programs and much more.
