New Students Kickoff Days

Spring Kickoff Day
Friday, January 9

Upon arrival, all students will check in with staff located in the Commons before proceeding to their housing or other Kickoff Day activities. This helps us verify that all students have completed their check-in process as needed. Students who have not completed their check-in processes will not be permitted to move into campus housing, attend class or participate in athletic practices.
