Welcome to The College of Saint Rose.

Whether you are a first year or transfer student, your college years are a very exciting time

in your life. Some would say that they are the best years of your life, and we hope that your

times at Saint Rose certainly will be.

When you arrive on campus on Wednesday, August 23rd, we will be here to greet you and

make you feel at home right away. Your two day comprehensive orientation experience

will take place on Thursday and Friday followed by our Week of Welcome. The programs

in the first week provide you an immediate opportunity to get better acquainted with the

campus, get involved, meet fellow classmates and make new friends — making the transition

to Saint Rose an enjoyable one.

As you settle in you will soon discover what you may have read or have been told — that

Saint Rose truly is a very special place.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS AT (518) 454-5170.
