Do I have to stay on campus for
freshmen orientation?
Yes! It is required that all (this includes commuters living in the
surrounding area) students participating in Mountaineer Days I & II
stay one night on campus.
How will I get registered for classes?
You will select class preferences during MD and then your schedule
will be created based on intended major, previous work, assessment
and preferences.
How is my academic advisor assigned?
Based on your intended major, a professor from that area will most
likely be your first academic advisor.
What is the average course load for freshmen?
Students usually begin with 15-16 hours, which allows them to drop a
class and still maintain full-time status.
When will I found out where I will be living on campus?
You will receive your housing assignment at the conclusion of
Mountaineer Days orientation.
When do I move into my Residence Hall?
Saturday, August 22, 2009. Check in will begin at 9am.
If a student has been awarded work study, when will he/she
actually be assigned a job?
Students must interview and be hired for work study jobs. Contact
Human
Resources for specific information on work study openings.
What are the immunization and Insurance requirements?
All incoming students are encouraged to have current immunizations
for Polio, MMR, Varicella and TD (or T-dap) and Hepatitis A and B
(according to the Texas Department of Health 2006 Guidelines). All
international students are required to have a TB skin test or chest
X-ray prior to registration.
Health and accident insurance is required for all resident and
international students. Residential and International students are
billed on their student account for the University plan unless the
student has completed the waiver process indicating current
comparable insurance.
What is the recommended course load for freshmen?
We recommend that freshmen try 16-17 credits at the beginning, see
how they schedule works and then if by several weeks into the term
they find it’s too much, they can drop a class without any penalty
to their GPA. This dropping of classes is possible until one week
after midterm.
