Our Transition Timeline:
There are a lot of emails coming your way. This section is here to aid you in your transition into Augusta University.
Put simply, you need to register for your Orientation Experience, complete your Online Welcome, and complete your New Jag Survey. You will not receive a schedule without completion of your New Jag Survey and Online Welcome. You will receive your schedule on your Orientation Day!
Your Transition Has a Few Parts:
- Online Welcome- You'll receive access to your online welcome after you have confirmed your acceptance. You must complete the online welcome prior to being able to register for your orientation date.
- New Jag Survey- Your New Jag Survey will inform your advisor of your individual needs and preferences while creating your schedule.
- Wednesday Webinar- We invite all New Jags to sign up for a Wednesday Webinar. These virtual sessions are free, and will provide valuable information to you and your system of support as you transition into Augusta University.
- Orientation- You'll have the opportunity to participate in orientation after completion of New Student Orientation.
- Leap Week- All new Jags are invited to participate in Leap Week - which is days full of activities and events designed to welcome you into our shared community!

Augusta University's Office of New Student and Family Transitions embraces each member of our shared community, and we believe that our differences unify, rather than divide us. We begin each Orientation Experience by sharing stories, words, and more from our Orientation Leader Team.
