PAWS-J FOR Traditional STUDENTS ENTERING IN SPRING 2024

Every January we host a PAWS orientation day for incoming students for the spring semester. This orientation is designed for both first-year and transfer students, and covers all the information you need to be a successful student at Greensboro College. In this one-day program, you will learn about the academic and student services at Greensboro College, get to know some of your fellow classmates, and find out what classes you’ll be taking. 

If you are planning to live on-campus, this is also when you will check-in with Residence Life. For more information regarding living on-campus, refer to the Residence Life webpage.

PAWS-J will take place on Friday, January 5^th from 9am-2pm starting in the Lea Center.

Check-in, if you are living on campus, will begin at 2pm in the Lea Center.

How to Prepare

Make sure you’ve sent in final official transcripts from any college or university where you have completed coursework. This includes courses taken through an early college or high school program. It’s a good idea to also bring a copy of those transcripts with you to show academic advisors during the advising and registration portion of the day.  This will help us create the most accurate and efficient course schedule for you.

If you have questions about your immunizations or health insurance requirements, you’re welcome to bring those documents with you.

While it will be hot outside, we’ll keep it nice and cool indoors so we recommend dressing in layers and bringing an umbrella in case of a summer shower.

Be prepared for a photo. Students will be taking their Pride Card (student ID) picture in the morning.
