Hello, Class of 2028 families – 

Summer is moving along, and we write with a few important reminders for you and your students:

• Looking for the residential calendar, orientation schedule, or even a first-year recommended packing list? You can find all these and other helpful resources for families on our website.
• We look forward to meeting many of you at one of our summer welcome receptions. Check the full schedule to register for an event in your area!
• Course registration for the Fall 2024 semester opened at 10 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, July 9. Students received an email with information on course registration, and they can also reach out to their summer registration consultant with questions about the process. Fall course schedules will be released at the end of July.
• In addition to registering for classes, incoming students should also keep up with their Summer Resources Lyceum Page. This is an important first step before registering.

Upcoming deadlines for your student:

• July 9-18: Course Selection Period – Registration is not first-come/first-served, so students can make their selections at any time before 11:59 PM Eastern on Thursday, July 18. 
• July 22: Bonner Leader Application Deadline – For more information about the Bonner Leader Program, please visit the program website.
• Keep up to date with additional First-Year Forms deadlines throughout the summer.

Did you know? All first-year students register for a First-Year Seminar in their fall semester to develop college-level writing, critical thinking, and communication skills. The First-Year Seminar also provides an advising cohort and community of support during the transition to college. Find out more about the program and course offerings for this year.
