Welcome to Smith!
Welcome to Smith!
ITS held a pre-orientation session on January 23, 2026 to introduce new Smithies to some of the resources and services we provide, as well as some tools you'll be using regularly: Moodle and Workday. The session covers topics like how to get IT help, where to borrow equipment for the day, what to do if you lose your OneCard, and how to check your printing balance.
Here's the New Student Orientation slide deck from Jan. 23. A new deck for Fall 2026 will be posted soon.
