Orientation to Academic Life


Orientation to Academic Life at Lambuth
(Course Advising and Registration)

One of the most important components of Lambuth's Orientation program is the introduction to Academic Life at Lambuth. During SOAR you will learn about the core curriculum and the Course Catalog. You will meet with your faculty advisor to plan your courses for the Fall semester. After meeting with your advisor, you will then register for your classes.

During Fall Orientation you will participate in several workshops led by faculty members and designed to prepare you for establishing success in the classroom. Also, all freshman students enroll in a one-credit Freshman Seminar Course, which will provide an introduction to higher education and college success.


Curious how college academics differ from high school?
Here's what our professors think you should know:

  • You will be given a syllabus and expected to know and abide by the information contained within it without being reminded. Your syllabus outlines your professor’s expectations, the course content, grading criteria and dates for tests and other assignments. You should have it with you at all times!
  • You are solely responsible for attending class, being prepared to participate and bringing the required materials. Remember...your parents will not be around to wake you up or to remind you to complete your assignments before class!
  • You will have fewer hours in the classroom, but you will have more work to do! You will spend only 3 hours each week in most of your classes; however, for every hour in the classroom, you can expect to spend 2-3 hours doing homework or studying for the class.
  • Professors have free periods throughout the week, so they are able to keep office hours to meet with each of their students. You should contact each of your professors within the first four weeks of class. His/her contact information and office hours will be listed on the syllabus.
  • Residential students, you are responsible for checking your campus voicemail. Faculty will sometimes use this box to communicate with you, and you need to be sure to check it regularly. Commuter students, you will need to provide your professors with contact information.

James Dozier ('08) and Becca Mulroy ('07):

  • Study. Study. Study.
  • "My dog ate my homework," or any variation of this excuse, doesn't cut it anymore!
  • Don't rely on your professor for your success; rely on YOURSELF!

Teri Eubanks ('06) and Erin Satterfield ('06):

  • You'll have lots of responsibility, because you'll be living alone. Your job is to get yourself to class on time! It is also your responsibility to make social decisions that impact your classes. (hanging out with friends, bed-time, priorities, etc!)
