All First-year students should arrive at their assigned residence hall between 7:00 am and 11:00 am. There will be no access to residence hall rooms prior to 7:00 am on August 27.

Parents of all new students are asked to attend a Parent Orientation Program Thursday afternoon. While students are attending their first Residence Hall Floor Meeting, parents will meet with staff from academics, student life, the health center, and the counseling center as well as upper class parents and students. The program will include a presentation by Donna Krivoski on the services offered by the Parent Relations Office. The Class of 2013 Welcome, for students and parents, will follow. This is the official beginning of Student Orientation. Parents are then invited to a reception at the President's House. Schedules will be available at each residence hall's check-in.
