USING THE ORIENTATION SCHEDULE ATHLETIC PRACTICES
Be sure to check with your coach to verify the time and location of all athletic practices. If a conflict arises between a practice and a required Orientation event, you should always attend the required Orientation event.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE PLACEMENT
Have you had Spanish or French in high school and want to find your appropriate level at Coe? If you haven't already completed our language placement test, be sure to do so online so we can send you placement instructions before your first advising appointment.
MUSIC AUDITIONS
Music Department ensembles are open to all Coe students. Your Orientation folder will include an audition time if you signed up in advance. You may also sign up for or confirm an appointment in the Music Office (Marquis Hall 103) during Orientation. The music ensemble appointments include: • Opportunity to meet and talk with the ensemble directors. • Opportunity to demonstrate playing or singing skills. • Opportunity to learn more about ensemble participation at Coe.
