Student ProgramWhat's it all about?The COMPASS Orientation program is designed to make your transition to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) as smooth as possible. You will have the opportunity to meet with your college representatives and receive important academic information, learn more about student clubs and organizations, buy your textbooks and get your student ID card. You will also have the opportunity to meet other new students and upperclassmen who serve as Orientation leaders in our program. In addition, a variety of programs and activities will be presented to ease your entry into the University environment. The format of the presentations will vary from small group discussions to mini classes. You will also have the opportunity to take the English, Math or Chemistry placement tests if desired. Programs and social activities are planned in the evening, which will allow you to informally interact with your peers. The University experience is a developmental process. All of the programs offered during Orientation will be of benefit to you during your stay at UAH. It is our expectation that you will participate in all of the programs and that you will find the experience both educational and rewarding. The COMPASS Orientation program will be filled with fun and entertainment for all new students. Be certain to review the Orientation booklet for the schedule of events. Come prepared to learn, meet lots of great people and have FUN! New Students Have Told Us: "Most Impressive orientation I have ever observed. Student counselors were the best! UAH should be proud.
