Readiness orientation and academic registration
The R.O.A.R. program is designed to help ensure a smooth transition to Young Harris College for both students and their families.
Welcome, new Mountain Lions!
The R.O.A.R. program is an extended orientation model that consists of:
- A one-day summer pre-orientation
- A more intensive four-day orientation before classes start in the fall
- Welcome week activities
- The Intro to College Success course Mountain Lion 1000

These elements of the first year experience are designed to help you make a successful transition to college life here in the enchanted valley. ROAR is required for all new students prior to the the start of the fall semester.

Beth McGowan Class of 2027“I had so much fun at ROAR Orientation. It was a great way to make new friends before the school year started.”
Welcome Week
Welcome Week is the official kick-off for the fall and spring semesters.
All new and returning students are invited to attend. It is a perfect opportunity to get acquainted (or reacquainted) with the campus, get to know your roommates, take part in activities, and make new friends.
Not living on campus? Welcome Week is for you, too! Commuter students are encouraged to attend and participate in all Welcome Week activities.
