Discover

There is so much to discover about º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù and it doesn't have to wait until you arrive on campus. As you prepare to arrive, º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù will offer opportunities designed to welcome you to the University community. 

Prepare

Before you arrive on campus, there are a number of things that you are required to do — important forms to fill out, information to share with the University, and training and assignments to complete — as well as recommended resources for you to take advantage of and review.

Experience

A variety of Pre-Orientation programs are available in August to jump-start your º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù experience in addition to the Orientation and Welcome Weeks programming that all new students will participate in once on campus. 

Not only did my summer experience make me feel prepared for college, it made me excited to come to º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù. Even before arriving on campus, I felt like a welcomed, valued member of the º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù community.
