All students checking in should enter campus through the Seminary Road entrance. You will proceed past the Fine Arts Center and the back of the Library where you will be directed to the Residence Life check-in tent located in the Jeffords Parking Lot.
All students moving in on August 11, August 19 or August 22 should check in with the Residence Life tent in the Jeffords Parking Lot first. Here you will meet our Residence Life Staff who will give you your assigned room key, student ID (new students), and help direct you to your assigned residence hall. Note: do not go directly to your building until you have checked in with us at the tent.
At your residence hall, visit the check-in table and meet with a Community Advisor. They will walk you up to your room to fill out all check-in paperwork with you and answer any questions you might have.
Orientation will begin on the morning of August 20, 2021 at 9 A.M. This will be a two day event and more details about orientation will be sent by email shortly.
