What to Expect - Students

Welcome to the Bobcat Family and to the Class of 2023! We are excited that you will be joining our long lineage of proud FSU Bobcats and look forward to serving you over the next four years! As you begin the process of preparing for college life at Frostburg State, we wanted to share some information about our Preview FSU summer orientation program. This general overview will give you insight as to what you can expect during the Preview FSU Program - the schedule is subject to change and a more detailed program schedule will be provided at Preview FSU.

STUDENT SCHEDULE - DAY ONE

  • Please check in on campus between 8:30am and 9:30am. You will be assigned an on-campus room for the evening and will be dropping off your belongings. Please be sure you have your photo ID and a calculator for placement testing before you leave your room for the day
  • There is a concurrent program for parents to attend. You will have an opportunity to catch up with them later in the afternoon.
  • After the morning welcome session, all students will be taking two important placement tests throughout the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon. The scores from these exams will determine your placement in English and Math courses. Please see the Preview FSU website to learn more about these exams.
  • Students will work with a Faculty Advisor and Preview Guide to develop your Fall 2019 course schedule. You will also hear about learning community options, housing options, and other opportunities for involvement. We want to encourage you to consider these options in advance of Preview FSU. More information can be viewed online at the Preview FSU website.
  • To close out the day, the Lane University Center will have refreshments and entertainment so you can continue to meet your fellow Bobcats and learn more about the exciting opportunities that await you in the fall semester!
  • All students will be staying on campus that night. Remember, your bedding is provided, but please bring an overnight bag including a towel and toiletries.

STUDENT SCHEDULE - DAY TWO

  • After breakfast, students are placed into groups to attend informational sessions about campus life, student services, and work on completing your fall academic schedule with your faculty advisor.
  • Much like Day One, your family will be attending separate informational sessions. You can meet your family in the Lane University Center once the student program has concluded for the afternoon.
  • Please be sure to collect your belongings and return your room key by 12:45pm.
  • An optional free family pizza luncheon will be hosted at Edgewood Commons following your check out where you can tour their facility and mingle with other members of our Bobcat family.

Please note that you will be with the Class of 2023 throughout the two-day program, including meals. All students will be residing on campus the first night of the program. Students will have limited time to talk with their parents during the Preview FSU program due to the multitude of testing, academic advising, and programs students are attending. Please keep cell phone usage to a minimum.

Should you have further questions, please contact the Office of Student Affairs.
