Data collected during new-student orientation on nontraditional-age freshman and traditional-age freshman students, who had never before attended an institution of higher education, indicated that there were more psychosocial similarities than differences between them. This research suggests that first-entry nontraditional students experience some of the same needs and concerns in higher education as do their younger peers. Referrals to existing advising services may help these students overcome discouragements and barriers to success in their educational endeavors.

New student orientation programs are typically designed around a loosely defined set of expectations that assist in the social and academic transitions to college. An area that has only begun to receive considerable attention in these programs has to do with technology orientation. The current study reports what orientation coordinators perceive to be the most effective strategies for incorporating technology into new student orientatin programs. Coordinators agreed most strongly with the notion of emphasizing the importance of technology to new students coupled with providing new students email accounts immediately upon arrival to campus.

Orientation programs are vital to a new student's acculturation to the campus community, and have been linked to students' long-term academic and personal success on campus. The Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) Standards for New Student Orientation provide a meaningful guide for program development and assessment. These CAS Standards were utilized over a two-year period to assess Tulane University's new student orientation program. The results of the assessments have prompted the professional staff at Tulane to examine the rationale behind each of the orientation program's activities and intentions.

This study utilized the standards put forth by the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) to assess orientation in online education. Two surveys were used to examine the oldest and largest online degree programs, as well as all-online schools. Descriptive statistics were employed to compare online orientation practices to the CAS Standards. Results suggest that online orientation programs are meeting the standards in some areas and missing them in others. The demographics and needs of online students must be closely examined in order to define engagement in the online environment.

Hispanic college students attending a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the southwest United States were administered the short grit survey during new student orientation for 2 consecutive years ( N = 496) to ascertain the association with grit scores and retention after the first year of university attendance. Results indicate that there was a gender difference in grit scores and retention. Few grit survey items were associated with retention, thus suggesting that the grit survey may not be an appropriate predictor of retention for first-generation Hispanic college students.
