Signing up for 博彩网址大全 101

Can I come to any program date I'd like?

Yes, as long as the date still has space available. Remember that you must submit your enrollment deposit before registering for 博彩网址大全 101. When you register, you will see all the dates with remaining space listed for you to choose from. We recommend you wait to make your travel arrangements (e.g. purchase plane tickets) for 博彩网址大全 101 until after you have signed up for a session date. You and your guest(s) must be registered for a 博彩网址大全 101 session to attend; we are not able to accommodate walk-ins.

Do the program dates have unlimited capacity?

Unfortunately, no. Each program date has a limited capacity, and there is also a set capacity for each college or school within the program to assure that students will be able to meet with an academic advisor for their major. Early dates fill especially quickly, so it is best to register as soon as possible if you have a particular date in mind. You can edit your reservation to change your session/date as long as seats are available in that session. Students are also limited to two guests.

Can I come with a friend who will also be a new freshman at 博彩网址大全?

Yes, but please note that we do not accept roommate requests for the overnight stay at 博彩网址大全 101. Be sure that you and your friend enroll in the same session. Session dates have limited capacities, so make your arrangements as soon as possible.

Can I bring a friend who will not be attending 博彩网址大全 as a new freshman?

Only admitted 博彩网址大全 students and their families may attend 博彩网址大全 101 — though your friends are most welcome to visit in the fall once you are settled. Friends interested in attending 博彩网址大全 can contact our Office of Admission at 314-977-2500 to arrange a tour.

What should I do if I am unable to attend 博彩网址大全 101 at the last minute?

Let us know if you are unable to attend by calling your admission counselor. Please give as much notice as possible so that we can inform your advisor and others who are expecting you.

Parents and Family

What do parents and family members do during 博彩网址大全 101?

Parents/guardians and/or family members are encouraged to attend 博彩网址大全 101 and have their own guest schedule of events over the two days that can help familiarize them with campus and prepare them for their student’s time at 博彩网址大全. Some topics include: scholarships/financial aid, student health, campus safety, academic advising, student services and transition issues.  Please note that each student is limited to bringing two guests with them to 博彩网址大全 101.

Can a family member other than my parents attend?

Yes, any member of your family is welcome, though the programs are geared toward parents/guardians. Your guests must be registered to attend the 博彩网址大全 101 program. Each student is limited to two guests.

I have already signed up for the 博彩网址大全 101 program, but now another member of my family has decided to attend. Is it too late?

Each session has a capacity of how many students and guests we can accommodate. Guests must be registered 12 days out from the session/date. Your parent/guardians and family members are welcome to attend. Please keep in mind that each student is limited to two guests that can attend 博彩网址大全 101 with them due to limited capacity. To register guests, simply log back into my博彩网址大全 and make the change to your reservation.

Can family members sit in on my advising/registration meetings?

Parents and other family members are not invited to advising or registration meetings. It is important for you to meet with academic advising independently to begin developing relationships. Our schedule for parents and family members includes an information session with academic advisors that covers how academic advising works for 博彩网址大全 students.

Where do guests stay overnight?

Guests are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. 博彩网址大全 lists recommended accommodations, many of which offer discounts to campus visitors. We are not able to provide on-campus lodging for the guests that attend with the student.

Who can I talk to about arranging academic accommodations (extended time testing, note-takers, books on tape, medical disability support, etc.)?

If you used an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)/504 plan/another accommodation plan in high school or if you have a documented condition that may require academic or housing accommodations, please contact the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources (CADR) in the Student Success Center at 314-977-3484 or accessibility_disability@ejly.net.

The higher education accommodation process differs from the high school accommodation process, so please make sure to contact the office as soon as possible to understand the procedures.

Housing and Tours

Do I need to spend the night in the residence hall for 博彩网址大全 101?

Yes, the overnight stay in the residence hall (Grand Hall) is an important part of the 博彩网址大全 101 program for the incoming students. Because of the importance of making friends and feeling socially comfortable in a new environment, we expect you to stay overnight in the residence hall whether or not you will be living on campus in the fall.  Students will have randomly assigned roommates/suitemates for the overnight stay; we do not accept roommate requests for the program.

If I need to arrive a day before 博彩网址大全 101 (or stay a day after), can I stay in a University residence hall?

Yes, you are welcome to stay on campus a night prior to or after 博彩网址大全 101 for a $35-per-night fee. Sign up for the extra night(s) through 博彩网址大全 101 registration via my博彩网址大全.

You will check in through Grand Hall the day before if you signed up to arrive early for the extra night of lodging. Early arrivals are on Sunday or Wednesday for the freshman program sessions and you can arrive anytime from 2pm on throughout the rest of day. Once you check in as early arrival, please get settled in at Grand. You will then check in at the Busch Student Center the next morning between 8 and 9 a.m. for the 博彩网址大全 101 program. The first presentation begins at 9 a.m. the first day of the program. 博彩网址大全 101 leaders are here to assist you and are also staying in Grand Hall.

The Department of Housing and Residence Life makes housing assignments and they are sent out mid-July to students.

Will I be able to see the residence hall rooms?

Yes, tours of one to two residence hall sample rooms are available during 博彩网址大全 101. However, not every residence hall will be available during the summer to provide tours. You will not be able to see your assigned room for the fall as the University does most of the maintenance work on the residence halls during the summer.
