New Student Series

Start your migration to Shark Nation with our New Student Series!

As an incoming student, there are three critical steps you must take care of as soon as possible: financial aid; course registration; and campus housing. These virtual workshops are offered as an optional resource to inform you about each process and allow you to ask your questions to representatives from each office in real time.

If you have not done so already, to begin the course registration and housing processes, you must submit your $200 nonrefundable enrollment deposit.
