LET'S TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS
Your college journey is likely going to be one of the most important, life-changing experiences you'll ever have, and we want to help you start it off right. So, this summer, we're helping you take care of business — from your payment plan to housing assignments — before your move-in day so that you can be fully focused on academic learning, enriching relationships, and personal growth when classes begin.
All new and returning students are required to complete some clearance items in order to move in to their residence hall and begin classes. Select what kind of student you are below, then view the summary of deadlines and next steps to get Cleared for Class.
