SPRING REGISTRATION AND ORIENTATION JANUARY 4

TIFTON- Registration and orientation for students enrolling at Abraham Baldwin College for the spring term will take place on Jan. 4, beginning at 8 a.m. in the J. Lamar Branch Student Center. There is an orientation fee of $30, and pre-registration is encouraged.

“We encourage those attending orientation to come in and pay the orientation fee beforehand and to call ahead to check that all paperwork is completed as needed,” Ali Csinos, Coordinator of Recruiting, said.

ABAC will offer over 240 classes for the spring term including courses in accounting, business administration, computer sciences, English, agriculture, mathematics, psychology, Spanish, and more.

“Orientation is an important time for students to get the classes they need and meet with their advisors,” Csinos said.

Activities during this orientation will include meeting student leaders, tours of the campus, a Focus on Your Major session, and registering for classes. About 200 students are expected to attend this orientation and registration session.

Students attending the Jan. 4 registration and orientation session must pay all fees by 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 5. Those who need assistance paying for their college education can still apply for financial aid, but they must be prepared to pay initially and be reimbursed for the aid that they qualify for at a later date. For additional information, contact the Financial Aid Office at (229) 391-4910.
