With all the things you need to do to get ready to arrive at Lawrence, it doesn’t take much to get a little lost. (It even happens to us from time to time—and we work here.) That’s why we’ve put together this handy (not so) little list of things for you to do to prepare for your arrival.

1. Activate your Voyager account now (if you haven’t done so already). As you will see for a bunch of the items that follow, this sets the table for nearly everything that happens this summer.

2. Activate your Lawrence email account now (if you haven’t done so already). Since many of our departments will be sending you important information to that account, it’s important to make sure you’ve activated it.

3. Complete your housing selection form now (if you haven’t done so already). After you complete it on—where else?—Voyager (Voyager>Student Services>Important Forms & Paperwork), we’ll assign you your room on campus. In mid-July, we’ll post your room assignment on Voyager (Voyager>Student Services>Housing & Roommate Information).

4. Get ready to register (June 18-22). Check your Lawrence email for registration information during this time. Also visit the registrar’s website to start planning your academic program now.

5. Advance registration (June 25-July 9). Complete your academic advisor form, and draft your class plan for the year (all students). Register for two fall classes (B.A. degree students only). Bachelor of Music students click here.

6. Watch your postal mailbox in mid-July for a big packet from the Dean of Students, including good stuff about Welcome Week.

7. July 15, the bill on your student account (i.e., tuition, room & board) will be available. (Don’t worry; payment is not due until August 15.) Speaking of payment, we invite you to explore your payment options.

8. Health forms are due by August 1. Please make arrangements to see your doctor before this deadline.

9. August 15, the initial tuition payment is due. Federal Work-Study and Campus Employment opportunities will be posted on the Financial Aid website.

10. Move-in days. For international students, residence halls open for move-in August 31- September 1 and mandatory orientation begins on September 2. For domestic students, residence halls open September 4. (Fall athletes should check with their coaches about earlier arrivals.)

11. Welcome Week. September 4-7. Family send-off is September 5.

12. First day of classes. September 10.

If you’re not completely overwhelmed by links yet, we’ll give you one more. A helpful resource where current Lawrentians are helping future Lawrentians find their way is (no surprise here) Facebook. You can connect with your future classmates by joining the group, Lawrence University Class of 2016.

We look forward to seeing you this fall. September will be here before you know it.

All the best,
The Lawrence Admissions Team
