Please contact the Admissions Office at 1-800-577-6826 with any additional questions or concerns. If you have not had the opportunity to visit our campus, we would be happy to arrange this for you. You may also visit campus via the internet at http://www.mansfield.edu.
Orientation
Information regarding new student orientation will be sent to you beginning in mid-November (once you have confirmed your attendance to the University); this mailing contains an invite postcard which you will need to return. Orientation is mandatory for all first-time students and is designed to help you become familiar with the campus and finalize registration of spring classes. Please visit our Orientation webpage for more information.
Spring 2009 Orientation will be held on Friday, January 9, 2009 for both freshmen and transfer students. If you will be living on-campus, you will also be allowed to move into your room that day.
Placement Exams:
If you are a Freshman student, your academic information will be processed to determine if you are required to take any placement exams. If the English or Math Placement exams are required, you will take these exams during your orientation session. Once you have selected an orientation date, you will receive a letter indicating if you are required to take the exams.
If you are a Transfer student, and have successfully completed a university level Math and English course equivalent, you DO NOT have to take the Math or English Placement exams. If the English or Math Placement exams are required, you will receive notification in the mail. You will take all placement exams during your orientation session.
Advanced Placement (AP) Courses and College Transcripts:
If you are taking any Advanced Placment (AP) Courses or completing college coursework while still in high school, please be sure to have the official AP scores and/or college transcript(s) forwarded to the Admissions Office.
Health Forms:
All first year students are required to complete a health form. This health form must be completed and returned in order for the student to be treated at the University health clinic.
Academic Advisor
Each student is assigned an advisor from within their academic department. Once you arrive on campus, you will be instructed to visit the department secretary from within your intended major. You will then be provided with contact information for your advisor.
New Student emails will be created beginning December 1, 2008 for those students who are already registered for Spring 2009 coursework. Accounts will then be created on a daily basis once you register for classes; please allow 24-48 hours (after your registration) for your accounts to be set up. Note: If you try to access your email account prior to these dates, it will not work. Please refer to the My Account link for further information.
