Greetings to our New Eagles! As a reminder, you'll be receiving weekly communications from the New Student and Family Programs team regarding important dates and actions you'll need to complete before joining us in the Fall. You'll be receiving these emails and other key communications from the university at your American University student email, so it's important to check your inbox frequently over the duration of the summer. This is the last week the newsletter will be sent to your personal emails.
This week, we're highlighting important upcoming dates from Housing & Residence Life and reminding of important dates surrounding immunization records and tuberculosis testing from the Student Health Center.
You can find a more detailed overview of dates and deadlines by reviewing the New Students Checklist.
