As a new student, you are required to attend New Student Arrival Days. Welcome Week begins Aug. 18 and the first day of Terra Firma will begin Aug. 19. Student-athletes participating in fall sports may have an earlier arrival day. All athletes are still required to participate in the Arrival Day activities.
Various student arrival days are scheduled to accommodate early fall sports teams and other programs.
Arrival days on Aug. 18 and 19 will be structured to host two different arrival groups each day. To determine which group you will be part of, please refer to your housing assignment (sent to your Cornerstone email address). Commuter students will move in on Aug. 19 (Group B).
On each arrival day, all new students and each accompanying guest will be asked to complete a health screening form at check-in. We ask that all accompanying guests be immediate family members only.
