NSO Pre-Arrival Checklist
Before you arrive to campus this Fall, there are several forms and tasks that you must complete over the summer - what we refer to as your Pre-Arrival Checklist. The Pre-Arrival Checklist outlines everything you must do or are recommended to do prior to your arrival on campus in the Fall. The Checklist is divided into two sections: Required Items and Recommended Items. Required Items are exactly that – required for everyone to complete and most items have the same deadline of June 30th. Please explore the Recommended Items, as each task depends on a student’s needs and situation, and the deadlines vary – also there are a few items on the Recommended checklist that are still required to be completed, so be sure to read through it all carefully! You can access your individualized checklist inside your , and as you complete Required tasks, they will be checked off your list (does not apply to Recommended Items).
Once you receive your CC Credentials (around May 12th), please log into your to complete these items on your Pre-Arrival Checklist.
If you are participating in a program that requires Early Arrival (The Bridge Program, International Student Orientation, pre-season Athletics, etc.) please check with program administrators as some checklist items may have earlier due dates. Regardless of your arrival date, you are expected to have all of your pre-arrival checklist items completed prior to moving onto campus.
While summer schedules can prove challenging, we encourage all students to complete these forms on their own, as no one knows you better than you know yourself. Allowing your parent, friend, or family member to complete these forms on your behalf can lead to roommate mismatches and First-Year Program course surprises.
Should you be unable to complete a checklist item by the due date, please contact the appropriate office in advance of the deadline to make necessary arrangements for form submission; notifying us after the deadline has passed may mean we are unable to accommodate your requests.
