Orientation: First-Year Checklist

Throughout the summer:

Study the Orientation schedule and your personal schedule for auditions, tests, and practices, so you don’t miss anything.
Call your mentor if you have questions. If you don’t know your mentor, contact
Ann Lewis.
Write or call your new roommate. Figure out who’s bringing what. This will save you space in your room and time on move-in day.
Pay your $300 Enrollment Fee. This can be done through the Admission Office.
Take care of financial obligations with the Business Office and the Financial Aid Office by July 1st.
Buy stuff for your room (XL twin-size sheets, food, posters, whatever). Call your mentor for suggestions.

 August 29 (First day of Orientation & Move in!)

Study the Orientation schedule and your personal schedule for auditions, tests, and practices, so you don’t miss anything.
Call your mentor if you have questions. If you don’t know your mentor, contact
Ann Lewis.
Write or call your new roommate. Figure out who’s bringing what. This will save you space in your room and time on move-in day.

Move in. Residence Halls open at 7:00 a.m.
Find the nearest bathroom—maybe even use it, that’s up to you.
Matriculate. Your mentor can tell you where to go if you aren’t sure.

·         If you took care of your financial obligations prior to August 22nd, head to Yates-Gill College Union and go through Matriculation Express. It’s painless.
·         If you haven’t, go to the Business Office in Greene Hall.

If you haven’t already, have your ID picture taken in the Student Affairs Office located in Yates-Gill College Union. This picture will be with you for four years.                                                                                                                                          Pick up your parking sticker in Yates-Gill College Union Atrium and immediately put it on your car.
Buy books. Do this in the bookstore. This is exactly why we call it a bookstore.
Attend all Orientation events.
Call your mentor if you need anything.
