Augusta University is home to a community of scholars, visionaries, and change-makers.
The Office of New Student and Family Transitions strives to inspire and empower each and every new student to leave a mark on the world. Here in the Office of New Student & Family Transitions we work each and every day
to ensure that our students and their families transition into our community is like no other.
We strive for excellence in what we do, and how we do it. Through innovative and high-impact
practices, we deliver just-in-time information that supports the whole student, and
their family through their transition into our community. We approach orientation as an educational process and as a launching pad, with the introduction
and discovery of the individual, relationships, and foundational routines that serve
as the bedrock of their development, scholarship, and leadership.
Mission and Vision
The mission of New Student & Family Transitions is to provide a seamless transition
into the Augusta University community through a series of innovative high-impact programs
focused on orientating, transitioning, and retaining new students and their families.
By providing timely and accessible programming from the point of admission through
matriculation, students and their families will be engaged with opportunities to connect
with campus resources, learn the culture and customs of Jaguar Nation, and receive
consistent communication that leads to a successful transition.
The Office of New Student & Family Transitions is responsible for coordination and
execution of all undergraduate new student and family programs at Augusta University.
