Welcome to Your University!
Welcome to Piedmont University. The Piedmont University M.A.N.E. Experience, formally known as orientation, is designed to help students have a successful transition to the institution and assist family members in understanding their student’s experience during this time. We are excited to share this experience with you and cannot wait to introduce you to the Piedmont University community.
First Time in College Students (Freshmen)
Summer orientation is mandatory for all students to attend. While your student attends sessions with their MANE Leader, faculty, and staff; the student’s guest will attend sessions from various departments on campus, including student accounts, academic affairs, and student affairs. These sessions will help parents and family members know what to expect and how to best support their students while at Piedmont University.
Orientation is crucial in order to provide all new students with information about being a successful college student at Piedmont University. Students will learn specifics about the university’s academic requirements and all the campus resources available to them.
Spring 2025 Orientation will take place virtually on January 6, 2025.
If you cannot attend any of the dates above or have any questions or concerns, please contact Chelsea Wilkes, Director of Campus Experience and Operations at cwilkes@piedmont.edu.
Transfer Students (Demorest & Athens)
Transfer students are students who attended a different college/ university after graduating high school. Please note this does not include students who have taken dual enrollment courses during high school. Please contact Brenda Boonstra for more information.
The Demorest Transfer Orientation will be held at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30. Those with questions can reach out to Jalen Davis at jalendavis@piedmont.edu.
