Reminders for Commuter Students during Orientation
Attendance Commuter students are
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 Commuter students can expect
to be on campus late during Orientation (Thursday, August 21 - Sunday, August 24). As a reminder, don't forget
to arrange for transportation home each evening, before arriving to campus. In addition,
students are invited to an ice cream social on Thursday, August 21. Students
and parents may want to drive separately to campus on Thursday, August 21.
Parking
Commuter students are eligible for parking and will be able to purchase a parking
permit during the first week of school.
