Starting today your New Eagle will be selecting their room! Room selection timeslots have been sent to your students, so make sure they know what their timeslot is and that they coordinate with their roommates on strategies for selecting a room.
If your student has only recently started receiving their weekly newsletters, they can find an archive of all previously sent communications on the orientation website. These newsletters have helpful resources for your New Eagles such as deadlines, dates, and programs, so we encourage them to keep up-to-date!
In this week's newsletter, you'll find out about how to register for the New Eagle Essentials webinar as a family or parent of a New Eagle, as well as how to access the parent pre-orientation Canvas page.
First-Year Advising is also hosting the New Student Registration webinar on June 5 and June 11. If your student would be interested in learning tips on registering for classes, they can sign-up to attend one of the webinar dates here.
