Congratulations! You’ve had the drive and determination to make it this far. Here are your next steps.
Accepted Students Next Steps
Orientation
All new students (first-year and transfer students) must attend an in-person orientation program. During this program, you will participate in small group discussions with Orientation Leaders and your peers to foster new friendships and connections. Additionally, you will learn about the First-Year Experience/Transferring to Ship, meet faculty in your program, and understand academic expectations and requirements.
Welcome Week
Whether you are coming directly from high school, coming back to college after years of life experience, or are transferring from another college or university, we hope you will take advantage of every opportunity made available to you during Welcome Week.
Move-In Day
The Housing Calendar, based on the academic calendar, gives information about move-in and move-out dates as well as breaks and closure information.
Placement Testing
At Shippensburg University, our goal is to help you succeed, and part of accomplishing this goal is placing you into courses that develop the skills you need. We will use these results to better determine which courses are best for you. If you are an incoming student that is required to take a placement test, you will have a checklist item in your Admissions Status portal. If you do not see this checklist item, you are not required to complete any placement activities.
