Greetings, Class of 2030 Families!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope you and your Bobcat are enjoying the summer so far. All incoming students have received important updates from the First-Year Experience (FYE) team<\/a><\/strong> regarding New Student Forms, course registration, and summer resources. We wanted to share a few highlights, so you know what’s coming up in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First Things First<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mandatory New Student Forms are now available through the New Student Forms card in Garnet Gateway<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n These forms are needed before your student’s arrival, and include health information, AESOP trip<\/a><\/strong> preferences, and the <\/strong>First-Year Housing<\/strong><\/a> Application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students have also been reminded that future editions of First Things First and other important communications will be sent only to their Bates email account.
