During your New Student Registration & Family Orientation Day, you will register for Fall 2024 classes. Based on the information you (the student) provide, academic staff will gain an insight into your academic goals, co-curricular interests, and identified or perceived strengths and weaknesses. Our staff will use this information to pre-select two of your fall semester courses. Completing the Pre-Advising Worksheet will help ensure your advising session is personal, productive, and addresses your individual needs.

All students living on campus (Residence Housing) or off campus (Commuter) must apply for housing. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø students are required to live on campus all four years, so housing is guaranteed; we just call it an application process! You will also be able to create your housing profile and engage with other new students through this process!

All students must complete this form to acknowledge that accommodations are available at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, and to learn how to request accommodations for physical, psychological, or learning differences or disabilities.

This multi-section form includes personal and parent information verification, emergency and missing contact information, tax dependency status, 1098-T tuition statement information and financial responsibilities.

Access the student health portal to fill out three electronic forms AND upload your provider signed Immunization Record to complete your Health History Record. This is required of all new students. Student Athletes, recruited to play a varsity sport, must complete these steps AND complete the New Athlete Pre-Participation Packet (this packet opens May 1).

Register the vehicle you will have on campus or request a vehicle waiver.

• Don’t forget to waive the vehicle registration fee if you will not have a car on campus!  
• Select 19 meal plan.  
• [IMPORTANT!] You must have the Health History Record signed by your health care provider while you are still in your home country. Access the student health portal to fill out three electronic forms AND upload your provider signed Immunization Record to complete your Health History Record by August 1, 2024. Bring the original with you to campus. Obtaining the immunization history, receiving required immunizations, and the health care provider verification will take more time than you imagine, so start working on it as soon as possible!  
• New students must complete the required immunizations prior to arriving at RMC for the fall. If you are unable to receive the required immunizations by August 1, we may have to defer your enrollment to a later semester after you have received the required shots.  

This will be your main point of contact with your professors, advisors, and college officials. Be sure to check your email frequently so you can stay up-to-date with what’s happening on campus!

Students can grant access to parents or other family members after they register for fall classes. Granting permission to a family member will allow them to view financial information (your bill), financial aid information, and academic information as you direct.

All final transcripts (high school, dual enrollment, college) and test scores (AP/IB) are due BEFORE you arrive in August. Be sure they are sent by your high school and/or colleges!
