Abstract

This study examined the necessary elements for the development of a student orientation brochure for commuter students at Mount Vernon Nazarene College in Mount Vernon, Ohio. It reviewed nontraditional and commuter student literature and 10 commuter student brochures and orientation materials from other institutions. The orientation brochure that was developed was reviewed and validated internally and externally by professionals in enrollment services, student development, and adult education, along with commuter students currently attending the college. A revised orientation brochure was then reviewed by a final evaluator who is a nationally-recognized expert in the field of student transition to higher education. The brochure was printed and distributed to commuter students, administrators, faculty, and staff. Appendixes provide the names of the colleges whose materials were reviewed, a list of suggested components of an orientation brochure, a list of internal and external validators, suggestions for revisions, and a copy of the final brochure. Contains 10 references. (MDM)
