Reminders for Commuter Students during Orientation
Attendance
New students who do not live on campus are still expected to attend the 4-day New Student Orientation Program. While the Commuter Student Picnic is an Opening Day event just for commuters, all other Orientation activities are geared toward every new student, not just resident Freshmen. New Student Orientation officially starts at 1:15 pm on Opening Day and will end late in the evening for all new students.
Transportation
Students who will commute can expect to be on campus late each day during Orientation (Thursday, August 22 - Sunday, August 25). If new students will not be driving themselves to campus, they should arrange for transportation home each evening, before arriving to campus. In addition, there will be an evening social event on Thursday, August 22. Students and parents may want to drive separately to campus on Thursday, August 22.
Parking
Commuter students are eligible for parking and will be able to purchase a parking permit during the first week of school. For detailed parking information, please check the Public Safety web site. Commuting students may park in the Main Parking Lot on Lancaster Avenue for New Student Orientation and parking permits are not required during the 4-day Orientation Program.
Meals
Your meals will be provided during the four-day Orientation program if you and your Orientation group will eat together in the dining halls.
Wildcards
New commuting students will pick up their Wildcards at the afternoon meeting with their Orientation Counselor on Opening Day.
