ON-CAMPUS REGISTRATION SCHEDULE – June 17-19, 2008

First Session

Second Session

Third Session

A.  Your appointment will be confirmed by June 4 for a specific day and time for advising and registration.  Session days and times are not interchangeable.   If you miss your time, you will NOT be able to join the next session.  However, information sessions CAN be attended at any time of the day. 

B.  You will meet with one other student and a faculty member to go over your
      preparation and thoughts about courses and to register for 3.75-4.8 courses.  You  
      will learn how your registration begins your progress towards your BA degree.  

C.  While you are registering, your family will meet with the Student Affairs staff to talk
      about transition issues, what to expect this summer and first semester, etc. If they are
      not finished with their session by the time you are finished registering, you can do the
      following:

1.   Go to the Dining Service Office to have your photo taken for your ID card and the student directory.

2.   Stop at the “One Stop Forms Shop” where Financial Aid and Student Accounts Staff will be available to receive paperwork and discuss aid, loans, student employment, payment plans, etc. A notary will also be available.

3.   Buy Chinese Lessons, the Reading In Common book for first-year students, to discuss during Orientation.  Books will be on sale in the BookMark.

There will be information about campus technology, study abroad opportunities, health service, transition issues, and more offered throughout the day.

Finalizing Finances

Before arriving on campus in June, you will save a lot of time if you:  

1.                  Finalize your loan applications – if not, it could take 1 ½ hours to do here. 

2.                  Have the Statement of Financial Responsibility notarized – if not, you could stand in line 30 minutes for notarizing. 

When on-campus in June: 

1.                  If you are receiving student employment as part of your financial aid package, you should take care of the following during summer registration:  Show picture ID (driver’s license or Gustavus ID) and original social security card or birth certificate to complete the I-9 form; or bring your passport. 

2.                  If you have questions about payment plans or want to talk with a member of the Student Accounts Office and Office of Student Financial Assistance, count on ½ - 1 hour in line. 

3.                  If you have not completed the loan application before you arrive on campus, you must bring both the student’s and the parent’s federal PIN numbers (same ones used to sign FAFSA on-line) so that federal student loan entrance counseling and master promissory note(s) (MPN) can be completed while on campus.  Loan proceeds cannot be disbursed in August unless this is done.  You can avoid unnecessary late fees by completing this process now.
