All incoming new students are expected to navigate through our Virtual Orientation modules, which also open on April 15, 2025. There are seven modules in total, you are expected to finish Module 2: "Academics" before meeting with an academic adviser. Watch for a confirmation form on the very last page of Module 2!

The remaining 5 modules should be completed before starting classes in August.

All new students will meet with an academic adviser after completion of Module 2: "Academics". These advising appointments will take place virtually.
