Welcome, new Mountain Lions!

The R.O.A.R. program is designed to help ensure a smooth transition to Young Harris College for both students and their families. Young Harris uses an extended orientation model that consists of a one-day summer pre-orientation, a more intensive four-day orientation before classes start in the fall, welcome week activities, and the Intro to College course Mountain Lion 1000. This program is designed to support the individual and comprehensive needs of both students and their families. This program is REQUIRED for all new students.

After a successful session of Ready to R.O.A.R., you're ready to participate in R.O.A.R. before your first day of class. The completion of this program is REQUIRED for all new students. This intensive four-day program includes activities and sessions designed to learn more about how to make a successful transition to college life here in the enchanted valley.

R.O.A.R 2023 is August 10-13. Click here to view the R.O.A.R schedule.
