Welcome Home!

Your Notre Dame Journey is about to begin.

Dear incoming first-year students,

Welcome to the University of Notre Dame! My name is Fr. Dan Groody, and I am the Vice President and Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education. I have the pleasure of leading the team that accompanies Notre Dame students on their educational journey. We steward the resources, curricula, programs, systems, and policies that support and sustain integrated learning that is both personally enriching and socially transformative. I am writing to let you know how we will partner with you over the next few months, what you can expect from our Office over the summer, and how we are anticipating your arrival on campus.

Partnering with You

We are excited to partner with you, your parents, and your family as you explore all the options Notre Dame offers. While we will communicate first and foremost with you, you are welcome to share any of our communications with your families as an invitation to join you on this journey.

What to Expect This Summer

This summer, the Office of Undergraduate Education will help ensure you have completed all the tasks you need to enroll, assist you as you prepare for a new academic journey, and connect you with all the resources we have available at the University.

Ensuring Completion of Enrollment Tasks

There are certain tasks you need to complete to finalize your enrollment at Notre Dame. These include activating your new Notre Dame email, financial account, residential application, and access to the University’s web portals, tools, and online resources. You will hear from our Office if there are any tasks you have pending.

In the coming days, you will receive an email from "Okta" to the email address you listed on your application. This email contains a unique link that enables you to activate your NetID, access your new email account, and check your inbox daily.

Preparing for a New Academic Journey

An academic advisor will begin working with you in early June, offering mentorship, support, and guidance throughout your four years at Notre Dame. This personalized and professional advising will introduce you to the values of a liberal arts education in the Catholic tradition, helping you integrate the formation of your mind and heart during your time here. Additionally, your advisor will help you explore requirements, register for courses, complete online modules required for all incoming students, confirm transfer or exam credit, and request placement exams.

Connecting You With Resources

Every week for the next few weeks, you can also expect to hear from our centralized academic advising office. Our primary source of communication will be the “Advising@ND” summer newsletter, which will be sent to your ND Gmail account.

You will also hear regularly from the Division of Student Affairs, your college or school, and various academic departments and offices eager to embrace you as the newest members of our community.

Anticipating Your Arrival On Campus

To anticipate your arrival on campus, you can expect to hear from the leaders of our first-year orientation program, Welcome Weekend, later this week. As your gateway into the life of a student at Notre Dame, Welcome Weekend seeks to share the unique characteristics of our undergraduate educational experience by introducing and inspiring engagement in academic and residential life at Notre Dame, demonstrating our commitment to a safe and inclusive environment of teaching and learning, and facilitating the exploration of University resources available to you and your family.

Welcome again to the University of Notre Dame! We are thrilled you are joining us, and I look forward to meeting you in person in the Fall.

In Notre Dame,

Fr. Dan
