Summer Bridge officially kicks off today with check in outside of Daugherty Hall between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m.

All students should plan to come by the Summer Bridge welcome desk during this time to meet mentors and staff, pick up your packets, and get a run down of this first afternoon and evening’s schedule.

Students moving in to the dorms today must check in with Summer Bridge before proceeding to Residence Life to get your keys and move-in paperwork. You will have until 5:00 p.m. to unload and unpack before opening session at 5:00 (and then dinner at 6:00, and then a mandatory Residence Life meeting at 7:00 p.m.).

Residence Life unfortunately can not begin their check in process any earlier than 1:00 p.m. If you arrive on campus before 1:00, you’re welcome to have lunch in the Hoke Union Building and watch us run around getting last minute details taken care of. You might also want to use the time to do any of the following you haven’t had a chance to yet:

• Get your EOU ID card from the IT office in Ackerman Hall
• Schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss fall classes
• Take math and writing placement tests, if needed
• Visit the EOU bookstore to see which books you’ll need fall term
• Visit the Financial Aid office or Student Financial Services in Inlow Hall for any questions about billing or disbursement of financial aid
• Stop by the Career Services Center in Inlow to ask about campus jobs
• Check that Admissions has received your final official transcripts
• Head into town and set up a local bank account if you need one
• Relax. Your schedule is about to get very full.
