Advisement
and Registration:
Academic advisement and registration are important parts of the EARLY and SOAR programs and
will be conducted in individual or group sessions according to each academic
college. During the advising sessions, an advisor will explain
University and program requirements and assist you in deciding which
courses to take during your first semester. Academic advisement is a
"two-way street" and an opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss
various options with an advisor. Please plan to be an active
participant in your advising session. Since the information you
will receive in the sessions prior to your advisement session is very
important, you will not be permitted to register unless you attend
all orientation sessions.
Academic advisement and registration are not part of the CHANGES
program. Transfer students receive a letter from the University
Registrar stating their date of registration and academic college for
advisement.

Orientation Costs and Refunds:
A registration
fee will not be collected prior to orientation program attendance;
however, a $75 orientation/matriculation fee will be assessed to all
first-year students and a $25 orientation/matriculation fee will be
assessed to all new transfer students upon completing the registration process. The
one-time fee covers the expenses associated with orientation and
registration and will be included in your first bill.
Please be aware
that once a student has completed the orientation/registration process,
there will be no refunds of the orientation/matriculation fee.

On-Campus
Housing:
If you are interested in on-campus housing, applications are available
through the Office of Housing and Residence Life, located on the
first floor of Kilcawley House (see
campus map).
You may stop by the office to pick up an application, visit their
website, or call (330) 941-3547.
Back to Top
Parking:
All orientation program participants should plan to park in the M1 parking
deck on Wick Avenue (see
campus map). You will need to present your parking voucher (included
in your
confirmation packet) to the parking attendant so that you may park free of
charge.

Placement
Testing:
All new first-year students attending an EARLY or SOAR program are required
to take the COMPASS Mathematical Test (CMT). In addition, based on
review of a student's ACT or SAT scores, he/she will be required to
take the Composition Placement Test (CPT) and/or COMPASS Reading Test
(CRT). The results of these tests will allow our academic advisors
to place you in the appropriate English, Reading, and Mathematics courses.
You should also be aware that certain majors will require Foreign Language
coursework; students may opt to fulfill the Foreign Language requirement
or place into an intermediate level course by taking the Foreign Language
Placement Test (FLPT). See
Placement Testing for further information.
For your
convenience, the placements test are offered several dates prior to the
orientation programs. If you do not take these tests prior to your
orientation program, you will not be permitted to register for English
Composition, Foreign Language, Mathematics, or Reading courses. In
addition, you will be required to take the CPT, CMT, and/or CRT before the
end of your first semester at YSU.
If you are unable
to attend your scheduled placement testing date or if you have special
needs and require accommodations to take the tests, contact the
Comprehensive Testing Services at (330) 941-1343.

Special Needs
and Disabilities:
If you are a student with a documented physical, psychological, and/or
learning disability (permanent or temporary), in order to receive
educational modifications, you are required to register with the Office
of Disability Services at (330) 941-1372 or (330) 941-1534 (TTD) so that
your disability may be accommodated. If you have a disability that
will require special accommodations on the day you attend an orientation
program, contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at
(330) 941-2103 or e-mail us
prior to that date so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.

your orientation program. Payment methods for tuition and fees
