ABAC ORIENTATIONS IN TIFTON, MOULTRIE THIS WEEK

TIFTON—Three orientation sessions for the fall term at Abraham Baldwin College begin July 19.

The evening orientation session for the Tifton campus is on July 19 from 4 – 9 p.m. in the Ag Sciences building. ABAC offers 48 different classes for this fall’s evening curriculum.

On July 20, ABAC on the Square in Moultrie will hold its registration and orientation session beginning at noon. ABAC on the Square offers 34 classes for the fall term.

An orientation on July 21 is scheduled for all entering freshmen attending ABAC in the fall. There is an orientation fee of $30, and pre-registration is encouraged.

“If students pay the orientation fee early, they can skip a step and arrive at a later time,” Ali Csinos, Coordinator of Student Recruitment, said. Those who have paid registration fees can report at 9:30 a.m.

Registration for other new and returning students will take place on July 22 beginning at 9 a.m. This applies to all returning students who did not pre-register in spring, new students needing to register, and students who have to take placement tests on July 21.

All first-time entering freshmen must attend one of the orientation sessions. The final orientation is on Aug. 18. Fall term classes begin Aug. 22.

Students who need assistance paying for their college education can still apply for financial aid. The fee payment deadline for fall semester is Aug. 10.
