An important step in succeeding in college is keeping track of important deadlines and events — such as orientation, financial aid submission dates and registration deadlines.



Academic Calendar

Wondering when your student will be home for the holiday break? You can find all holidays and residence hall closings — as well as all the other important academic dates — on the 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø events calendar or the academic calendar.

Admissions Events

Check out the virtual and in-person events hosted by the Office of Admissions. Learn about 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø majors, financial aid and scholarships, housing, advising, registration, and more — directly from the 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø experts! See the 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø Admissions Events.

Orientation

We welcome you to join us at Parent and Family Orientation. Attending this orientation is a great way for family members to learn how to support their student as they move to the 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø campus and start college. See the 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø Orientation Information.


 

 

Campus Life

Living on campus is a proven way for students to succeed academically, connect with their peers and engage with campus life. That’s why the 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø requires that all first-year students live on campus.

Fun fact: 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø’s residence halls are the only ones in the nation to boast a view of the Alaska Range and Denali — the highest peak in North America.

FERPA for Families

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the education records of students, affording them rights of privacy and control over their educational records. FERPA covers any records that a university keeps that are directly related to a student. This includes their grades, class registrations, student bill, campus housing records, disciplinary records and almost everything that contains personally identifiable information. This even includes their student status with 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø — whether or not they are even currently a 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø student is protected by FERPA.
