Updated May 21, 2020 to reflect event changes
At IMPACT, you can expect to:
Beginning college is a key life transition. Whether you move away from home or live
close enough to continue living with family, you will assume greater responsibility,
meet a variety of diverse people, and adjust to the academic demands of college life.
Our new student orientation, IMPACT, is designed to cater to your every need while
beginning college at TROY. You will begin the process of transitioning to your new
college environment. At IMPACT you will meet new people, learn how to get involved
on campus, and register for fall classes: three essential elements which will foster
a successful transition to the TROY family.
This major life transition is also important for parents and/or guardians of the student.
Therefore, we offer parent sessions concurrently with the student sessions for both
freshmen and transfers.
In our continued priority of providing the highest level of safety and security to our students we have developed a plan for our 2020 IMPACT New Student Orientation Program. After much careful consideration, we are pleased to announce that we will have two options for our new Trojans to select from, a one-day on campus IMPACT orientation session and a virtual IMPACT session hosted solely online.
FOR FRESHMAN SESSIONS: Each in-person session will take place on the first day of your regularly scheduled session and our virtual orientation will be hosted on the second day of your regularly scheduled session.
FOR TRANSFER SESSIONS: The in-person session will take place on the day of the session you registered for and the virtual session will be offered in June and in July. If you select to attend virtually we will follow-up with you regarding your preferred date.
Regardless of whether you choose to join us on campus for an in-person session or from the comfort of your home as a virtual attendee, we look forward to presenting new student information in the most engaging, informative, and most importantly, safest way as possible. We are so excited to be able to serve you as you begin your journey as a TROY Trojan, and are here to assist in any way possible.
All parents and/or guardians of incoming students, both freshman and transfer, are invited to attend Parents Orientation free of charge. Parents are provided with information on student services, expenses, and how to assist your student in transitioning to college. You also have the opportunity to meet with selected faculty members and meet current TROY students!
Due to the ever-changing situation with Covid-19 we request only 2 parents/guardians per each enrolling student attend the IMPACT in-person sessions. If you select to attend a virtual IMPACT session, you will receive the event link the week of your event.
Registration for 2021 sessions will open Spring 2021.
The cost for both in-person and virtual sessions will be $50.
FOR FRESHMAN SESSIONS: If you have already paid for your session, your extra $50 (from your original $100
payment) will be used as a credit to your Fall 2020 semester balance or it will be
refunded to the card used for your payment.
If you have not already paid for your session, an additional email will be sent with
an updated payment link.
Please note – this fee must be paid prior to attending either an in-person or virtual
session.
FOR TRANSFER SESSIONS: If you have not already paid for your session, please follow the link provided in your registration confirmation to submit your payment as soon as possible. Please note – this fee must be paid prior to attending either an in-person or virtual session.
