PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY
The Summer START (Student Transition, Advising, Registration & Testing) and Parent Orientation Program is designed to do just what its name implies: get students off to a fresh start as they begin the next significant phase of their lives. All new students joining the Philadelphia University community take part in one of several START programs offered throughout the summer months. Both incoming commuter and resident students attend a two-day program and spend one night on campus. START is designed to be an eye-opening and enjoyable introduction to the University, its programs and its people.
