For information on Advising & Registration please visit : Academic Advising Guide Fall 2023

Admitted Student Day

Admitted Student Days are optional visit days designed to welcome admitted students to campus and assist them with finalizing plans before attending in the fall. Connect with business areas on campus, including Financial Aid, Academic Advising, Connection Card, and Housing and Dining. Afternoons are dedicated to connecting you with other incoming students, to experience life as a Wildcat through activities like the river float, a planetarium show, service learning projects, and much more. Parents and support networks will have the opportunity to connect with other parents, guests, staff, and faculty, as they navigate the journey of their student.
