There are three program options from which to choose. All program options include
meals in a campus dining commons.
Program With Accommodations - $178 per person - includes one overnight and four meals on campus.
Accommodations will be provided in an on-campus residence hall, double occupancy
with students and parents housed separately. Students are roomed with another same-sex
student; student roommate requests cannot be honored. Parent couples are roomed
together, while parents attending alone will be placed with another same-sex parent
roommate. Sheets, blankets, towels, and pillow are provided. Orientation is intended
for entering freshmen and their parents or guardians only. We are unable to provide
activities or accommodations for younger family members. Residence hall space for
our program is limited. Please see the Program Only option below for alternative
accommodations.
Note: The overnight accommodations are on Monday night for the Monday-Tuesday
sessions or on Thursday night for the Thursday-Friday sessions.
Program Only - $151 per person - includes the Orientation program and four meals
on campus. This option is for those who make their own overnight arrangements due
to preference or because space is not available in the Program With Accommodations.
Local area accommodations
are listed on this website.
Sunday Arrival Option - $225 per person - includes two overnights (Sunday and Monday) and
six meals on campus. It is available during three designated Monday-Tuesday
sessions only. This option allows more travel
time since check-in is from 3:30 to 5:30pm on designated Sundays. Space in this
option is also limited.
Please note: Program fees for the Freshman Summer Start Program Orientation are
different from those listed on this page.
