2018 STUDENT welcome packet

SUMMER ORIENTATION We strongly encourage you and your parents to attend one of three Summer Orientation days—on June 8, 9, or 11. You can register online for your preferred date by completing the Summer Orientation and Course Information Form at apply.bsc.edu/register/SummerO. Even if you are unable to attend Summer Orientation, you should complete this form by May 15 so we can get ready for your arrival in the fall. During Summer Orientation, you will meet other new students, consult with a faculty advisor, review your fall class schedule, and get information about getting ready for college. It’s the best way to connect with the campus! If you have questions, please contact our dean of students, Ben Newhouse, at [email protected] or (205) 226-4725.

Even before you come to BSC, you’re taking the first steps toward leading a life of significance by letting us know about your academic interests and personal goals. Then, a team of staff and faculty will work to match you with the courses, professors, and roommates who will help you rise to your potential. Once you arrive, you’ll learn more about the incredible hands-on opportunities you’ll have to explore your passions and develop critical skills. You and your families will find out more about the transition to BSC at Summer Orientation and we hope you can join us there. Meanwhile, we know you’ll have many questions, and we hope this packet will help answer them. It includes essential steps and deadlines, along with other important tips and contact information. Please be sure to call if you have any questions. We’re here to help, and we look forward to seeing you soon. Forward, Ever! Bradley Caskey Provost
