New Student Roadmap

The New Student Roadmap is your guide to the steps you will complete between now and your arrival on campus in August. We’ve broken the process down into five steps. As an expected student, you will receive an email for each step that provides you with further information and links to the various forms and tasks you need to complete. Keep track of your own progress by checking off the tasks as you complete them.
