Spring Orientation 2026
Our registrations are specifically designed to help students have a smooth transition to college and campus life. Students cannot move into their dorm rooms unless they have completed or received items (given at registration) to allow them into their rooms. Therefore, we cannot allow students to check-in to their rooms early.
