New Student & Family Transitions

Welcome Home! 

Augusta University is home to a community of scholars, visionaries, and change-makers. The Office of New Student and Family Transitions strives to inspire and empower each and every new student to leave a mark on the world. Here in the Office of New Student & Family Transitions we work each and every day to ensure that our students and their families transition into our community is like no other. 

We strive for excellence in what we do, and how we do it. Through innovative and high-impact practices, we deliver just-in-time information that supports the whole student, and their family through their transition into our community. We approach orientation as an educational process and as a launching pad, with the introduction and discovery of the individual, relationships, and foundational routines that serve as the bedrock of their development, scholarship, and leadership.

The Jaguar Way

Our Professional and Student Leadership teams build community through shared experiences and connections. Our teams approache their work by sharing their authentic stories and perspectives, highlighting the common values that unite us as Jaguars and strengthen our shared Augusta community.
