Winter Welcome consists of student success programming and coursework, as well as additional activities and community-building events before spring classes begin on Jan. 21.

*Important* -- Students who have signed a spring housing contract and are planning on moving into the residence halls early on Jan. 15 must indicate that in the Winter Wecome registration form. If you participate in the full day's experience on  Jan. 16, your early move-in housing fee for three nights will be covered.

Settle into your residence hall early!

Students living on campus have the option to move into the Residence Halls on Jan. 15 if they have signed a spring housing contract, three days earlier than the rest of campus!

If you are planning on taking advantage of early move-in, be sure to indicate that while registering for Winter Welcome.  Best of all, if you participate in the full day of Winter Welcome programming on Jan. 16, early move-in housing fee for three nights will be covered!
