Dear Class of 2028 and Transfer Students,
Congratulations on your decision to make Rose-Hulman your home away from home for the next four years! We are thrilled to have you join our Rose-Hulman Family and this email contains important information on how to get your career at Rose started.
While you are busy finishing your senior year of high school, we are busy planning for your arrival in August. Plans are underway for New Student Orientation (Friday, August 30 – Wednesday, September 4), which will include tours, workshops, information sessions, opportunities to meet faculty and staff, and of course, A TON OF FUN ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS! More information about New Student Orientation will be provided throughout the summer.
If you are an international student, please plan to arrive on Tuesday, August 27, for your International Transitions pre-orientation program. More information about this program will be sent to you throughout the summer.
In the meantime, it's time to start getting ready for your Rose career RIGHT NOW! To help prepare you for the next four years, we have put together the JUMPSTART! checklist. The checklist provides you with a list of the things you need to complete prior to the start of classes. Complete each item, and you'll be well on your way to navigating your first year at Rose-Hulman.
To get started, you’ll need to visit the New Student Orientation page located in Campus Groups. In case you are wondering, Campus Groups is your one-stop-shop for all things New Student Orientation. Once you arrive on campus, it will be your one-stop-shop for events, activities, and student organizations!
The JUMPSTART! checklist includes the housing survey, required ALEKS math assessment, information on course credit and placement exams, and access to required online modules that need to be completed before classes begin.
Throughout the summer, we will share more information about resources, services, and how and where to find the FUN STUFF! Be sure to check your Rose-Hulman email and CAMPUS GROUPS often for updates and new checklist items. We can’t wait to meet you in August!
Warmest regards,
Kristen Bardou Loyd
Director, Union and Student Activities Office
