Welcome to the Barry University community! Believe it or not, the beginning of your first semester at Barry is just around the corner and the entire university is gearing up for your arrival.
Whether you are a transfer student or if this is your first college experience, New Student Orientation is mandatory for all new undergraduate students at Barry.
To register for Fall 2010 Orientation, please visit your personalized MyBarry account on-line at www.barry.edu/mybarry and follow the directions for registration.
What is Orientation? Orientation is Barry’s registration and transition program designed specifically to offer you an opportunity to prepare for your fall semester. You will meet with an academic advisor, create your fall class schedule, order books, get your student ID, meet with faculty, staff, and fellow new students, and get to know and feel comfortable on the campus. There are two programs this August: Orientation III is August 25th for local commuters only and Orientation IV is August 25th -27th for resident and international students. We encourage you to choose one to attend.
Why is it important? When you attend Orientation you will be among the first new students to register for fall classes. In addition, the opportunity to become familiar and feel comfortable with the campus, the dining hall, the residence halls, faculty, staff, and other students prior to your arrival in the fall plays a huge role in helping make your transition into Barry a successful and smooth one.
How can you make it happen? You can reserve your place in Orientation by going to your MyBarry account and registering for the session that best meets your needs.
Can my family attend Orientation as well? In addition to this specially designed program for you and your fellow classmates, your family members can also participate in their own program. When you register for Orientation, make sure to include any and all of your family members who would like to attend.
Orientation is another opportunity for us to show you that you have made the right decision in coming to Barry University. We look forward to meeting you and your family. In the meantime, please contact the Department of Student Activities with any questions or concerns you might have. We may be reached at studentactivities@mail.barry.edu or by phone at 305-899-3961.
