Reminders for Commuter Students during Orientation
Attendance New students who do not
live on campus are
still expected to attend the 4-day New Student Orientation Program. While the Commuter
Student Picnic is an Opening Day event just for commuters, all other Orientation
activities are geared toward every new student, not just resident Freshmen. New
Student Orientation officially starts at 1:30 pm on Opening Day and will end
late in the evening for all new students.
Transportation Students who
will commute can expect
to be on campus late each day during Orientation (Thursday, August 20 - Sunday, August 23).
If new students will not be driving themselves to campus, they should arrange for transportation home each evening, before arriving to campus. In addition,
there will be an evening social event on Thursday, August 20. Students
and parents may want to drive separately to campus on Thursday, August 20.
Parking
Commuter students are eligible for parking and will be able to purchase a parking
permit during the first week of school.

parking information. Commuting students may park in the Main Parking Lot on

required during the 4-day Orientation Program.
Meals Your meals will be provided during the four-day Orientation program
if you and
your Orientation group will eat together in the dining halls.
Wildcards New commuting students will pick up their Wildcards at the 2:30 pm meeting with
their Orientation Counselor on Thursday, August 20.
