Live and in-person programming for parents and families during 2021 move-in and Orientation is dependent on COVID-19 restrictions and thus is uncertain at this time. At a minimum, we expect to assemble a set of virtual resources for parents and families to access starting in mid-August and maintain it throughout the academic year. We also anticipate hosting a drop-in open house for parents and family to ask questions to student services offices including Career Services, local healthcare providers, the ExSEL program, Student Financial Services, Student Leadership and involvement, the Registrar, Student Disability Services, Student Mental Health and Wellbeing, and the Waino Wahtera Center for Student Success. This program is intended to complement our online resources and serve as an opportunity to take care of final business and ask questions or for more information, as necessary.
We also encourage you to conduct you business and contact student services offices
by phone or email prior to your arrival through 5 p.m. on Friday, August 22, 2021,
after that point many of our student services staff will be helping support Check-In
and Move-in.
