Except for a few athletic teams, all new students will move in on August 25th starting at 10:00 a.m. You can get there earlier (starting at 8:00 a.m.) to do any paper work you need to finish and buy books, but you will need to wait in your designated dorm lane in the Roland Fine Arts Center (RFAC) parking lot until 10:00 a.m. when move in begins. (View the full schedule)
You will enter the campus through the main entrance and line-up in your designated dorm lane in the Roland Fine Arts Center (RFAC) parking lot. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. you and your vehicle(s) will be escorted to the entrance of your residential hall where you will be met by the Swarm Squad. Stay in your car! This group of highly motivated upperclassmen will unload the contents of your vehicle(s) and take them to your room. You will be given instructions for where to park your car and then return to your room.
A Team Leader is a returning student who went through a rigorous application process because they are interested in welcoming new students to HLG. Your Team Leader’s job is to introduce you to life at HLG by guiding you and five to nine other students through New Student Orientation. They will be in contact with you throughout the summer to answer any questions and address any concerns. Meet our Team Leaders here.
New Student Orientation is 4 1/2 days long. (View the full schedule)
All the info you need about what to bring and not bring can be found here.
