This event is typically a student’s final visit to campus prior to moving in for classes. Our four summer registration days for 2013 are June 7th, 8th, and July 11th, and 12th. New students enrolling this fall are required to attend one of these dates. This is not “orientation.” That is a different event that begins about one week prior to classes actually starting in the fall. Quite different, summer registration includes registering for classes as well as providing some guidance for students and families on information needed by Morningside College before a student enrolls in the fall. These events are very important. A maximum of 100 students attend each registration day. Therefore, when a student receives the registration invitation, it is important that a decision on a date is made as soon as possible. Invitations begin in late April and are sent out in the order in which we receive enrollment deposits.

Students who are unable to attend a registration date must contact their admissions counselor. Registration may take place over the phone only after the July 12th date is complete. Therefore, class options may be a challenge at that time.

At registration, each student will...

•  Participate in an advising session with a Morningside faculty mentor to choose fall semester classes.

•  Attend a group session dedicated to understanding financial aid including loans, grants, payment plans, and

   any other necessary paperwork. Individual appointments can be made upon arrival.

•  Complete all housing forms.

•  Complete paperwork for on-campus work study positions.

•  Consider and confirm a meal plan.

•  Have a student ID picture taken.

•  Learn about privacy obligations in relation to releasing student information.

•  Provide evidence of insurance coverage while at Morningside. Bring current insurance card with you.

•  Discuss required immunization records.

•  Eat lunch with fellow freshmen and Morningside's own Orientation Student Assistants (OSAs).
