You’ve Made Your Choice – Now What?

By Brya Emery, Assistant Director of Admissions

You’ve completed the most difficult tasks in the college process. You have submitted all of your college applications and materials, you’ve been accepted, made your decision to attend Norwich University and have even paid your deposit, so what comes next?

First, I want you to take a moment and realize the commitment you’ve made, the great opportunities and education that you have set yourself up to take advantage of and understand that after you complete this last step, all you have to do is enjoy your decision and your last summer before you begin your college career at Norwich. So, now you’ll begin to complete your last step before arriving at Norwich.

The next step will be filling out all your New Student Information Paperwork. This paperwork is what will set you up for your housing, your health information for our Infirmary as well as your health insurance, math placement test, uniforms for our Cadets and much more. Some of your forms will be required to be completed online, some PDF’s which you’ll need to print off and mail into us, and some of the forms listed will be optional for you to complete based on which of our services you may want to use.

You will not have to worry about signing up for your classes which will be very helpful to you. You will be automatically registered for your classes by the Registrar’s Office. They will pre-select for you the curriculum for your major to get you started. Once you arrive on campus, we will hold an Academic Day for all incoming students to meet with your Academic Advisor to review your schedule, make any changes to your schedule, and if you have space, choose any elective courses. Your Academic Advisor will be the person you will work with on your academic goals and planning your courses with each semester.

So, remember that your Admissions Counselor is here to answer any questions you have and we will continue to contact you right up until you arrive on campus. Enjoy your summer, spend time with your friends and family, earn that spending money (save some too!) and before you know it, it will be time to pack up your gear and head to Norwich!
