Abstract

The study examined the views of students on orientation programs organized for fresh students in the University of Cape Coast at the beginning of the 2019/2020 academic year. Students’ involvement theory was adapted. Qualitative data was collected from purposively selected respondents and key informants in the University and analyzed using a thematic approach. The study revealed that the duration of the program was short and therefore packed which make it too stressful for the students. During the orientation exercise, some of the expectations of the students were met whilst others were not.
