Take a moment to tell us about yourself so that we can match you with the perfect advisor for your four years at Furman.
Furman offers a hybrid approach to acclimating students to academics and college life—Summer Orientation and Fall Orientation. We encourage our students to attend both sessions. Summer Orientation is a two-day event that offers new students and parents an opportunity to learn about our academics, meet with academic advisors, conduct important placement activities and register for fall classes. Learn how to register for one of our five summer orientation programs.
If you are unable to attend summer orientation, you must complete this form by June 10.
One of our faculty advising counselors will contact you to assist you with course selection.
Learn about the technology resources available at Furman and get your computer ready for our campus by completing our technology orientation. You will receive a technology packet with instructions.
Prior to attending Summer Orientation, you should make your First Year Seminar selections. These courses will teach you how to engage with important issues, and probe questions through classroom discussion. All freshmen are required to complete two First Year Seminars, one of which is writing-intensive. To review seminar offerings, read through the First Year Seminar Guide. To learn how to make your selections, please see our online tutorial.
Send us a photograph suitable for your Furman ID card and we will have it ready for you when you arrive in the fall.
Don't forget to send your final high school transcript to us. Forms should be mailed to:
