Admitted Students

Fall semester:

• Complete your housing application

  We know there’s a great roommate out there for you, and we want to help you find each other.

  Calvin’s residence life program has an amazing record for producing successful roommate pairs, and they rely on the information you provide. If you’ve already chosen a roommate, be sure to list each other on your applications.

  Note: your housing application won’t be processed until your enrollment deposit is received.

• Choose your orientation program(s)

  New Student Orientation involves more than just getting the lay of the land. Register for one of four different orientation sessions offered in the spring or summer. Parents are encouraged to attend, too. But don’t stop there. Optional programs like Wilderness Orientation (think outdoor adventure) help you build community right away.

  Featured programs

  

  Admitted Student Day is a one-day spring orientation program – April 12 – for admitted students and adult family members.

  Federal Direct Loans help make your education possible, and you can defer payment on loans until after graduating. Before loans are disbursed you must finalize your loans by completing an online counseling session and sign a master promissory note.

• Complete your academic advising form

  You’ll want to be ready for your advising appointment during orientation; be sure to complete your 3-minute academic questionnaire at least 10 days prior to your orientation session.

  When will you meet with your advisor? Most orientation programs (PASSPORT, IMPACT or International PASSPORT) have your advising appointment built right into the day’s schedule. If you attend Admitted Student Day, your advising appointment will be scheduled during the summer, either on campus or by Skype or FaceTime.
