however, the orientation registration fee is non-refundable. It's important to register early.At orientation, you will register for classes, receive academic advising, learn about
academic requirements and start getting acquainted with us. If you do not register
for orientation, your admission will be canceled. If reactivated, you will only be
allowed to enroll on a space-available basis.
You must provide proof of immunization before you can register for classes, so take
care of this before your orientation session. The documents will be reviewed and determined
complete or not by the immunization staff within 72 business hours after receiving
them. Additional immunizations may be required for students living in university housing
or who major in health professions. Questions and information about acceptable proof,
exemptions or temporary deferments may be directed to Student Health Services at 239-590-7966.
