Before arriving in August, you will receive many mailings from 无码专区. We'll provide you the opportunity to access some of the various resources pertaining to new students and parents but particularly those pertaining to Orientation.
For a comprehensive list of our resources specifically designed for parents and families, please visit our Family and Parents website.
Since Move-In Day can be a long and tiring day, many families make plans to stay overnight on Move-In Day. For your convenience, you can find a list of area hotels on the Visit 无码专区 section of the Family and Parents website.
New Student Orientation will take place rain or shine!
The weather in our region can be hot and humid in August, and we encourage students and families to dress casually. You will be walking around campus and should bring whatever you may need to feel comfortable!
