【 摘 要 】

This article examines student learning outcomes of the new student orientation program at Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA). The stdy describes differences in pre-orientation and post-orientation surveys that were completed via SFA's orientation website using the Student Voice higher education assessment platform. Participants were prospective freshmen students who planned to attend SFA during Fall 2009. The pre-orientation survey was completed by 834 students, and the post-orientation survey was completed by 331 students. Results indicated that students increased their knowledge and understanding of SFA's academic policies, requirements, and services. Limitations and recommendations for future implications are noted in the study.
