We require that students attend orientation...yes, it is mandatory. It is mandatory because national research shows that participation in orientation is one of the best ways to support college success. Every decision we make as an institution is driven by just that. What is best for our students.
ZeeMee is the place to be! Think of it as a group chat with new classmates. This is a great place to connect with other incoming students and forming connections before you even step onto campus!
All new students will schedule Fall courses with their faculty members during New Student Orientation.
Academic Advising:
All new students are assigned a faculty member as their Academic Advisor. Departments
will begin assigning advisor assignments in June; however, if you do not have an advisor
assigned and have questions on your classes or major, you can contact your department chair for assistance.
You’ll create a housing profile, sign your housing contract, choose a roommate or suitemate (unless you prefer a single), and select a room through Housing & Dining Self-Service.
In the meantime, explore our housing options online by watching our virtual housing tours!
New Student Move-in will be held the weekend before classes begin. Please refer to your email for specific instructions on dates/times for your hall over the summer.
Incoming students are required to submit a medical history form to Glennon Health Services before courses begin.
It is strongly recommended for students to be covered by insurance while enrolled at LHU. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of their insurance coverage should it become necessary for laboratory testing or x-rays to be done. Contact insurance provider prior to enrollment at LHU especially if the student has "out of network" insurance.
Please refer to Glennon's FAQ page for a complete listing of available services.
From fashion, poetry, pre-med, and fitness to competitive sports, the outdoors, gender and women’s issues, government and policy, community outreach, and spiritual and faith-based groups, (phew!) the options are endless at The Haven! In fact, LHU has over 100 clubs and organizations with members just waiting for you to get involved.
Each semester LHU hosts a club fair where you can peruse the many options available for connecting with like-minded people and enjoying your favorite pastime or, you can stop by the Student Activities Office any time of the year to find out how to get involved.
Congratulations on starting your collegiate career early!
