Hi there!
We have officially begun the final countdown to the beginning of your student’s college experience. You and your student have dedicated a lot of energy getting to this point, and we want to acknowledge and applaud this major achievement. Congrats! We have a few more simple recommendations to help you make your final preparations before coming to campus:
- Carefully read and review all communications that your student receives from Emory’s Residence Life and Housing Operations, so that you are prepared for the Move-In experience.
- Take a look at our at-a-glance Orientation schedules on the First-Year Orientation website.
Required student events begin on Saturday, August 21 at 5pm; however, we have open time in the schedule on August 22 for parents and families who decide to stay until Sunday. This can be a nice time to have breakfast, do last-minute shopping, walk around campus, or whatever you would like. Beginning at 1pm on Sunday, August 22, your student will begin a full day of Orientation activities. Parents and families typically leave at this time.
- Stay up-to-date on Emory’s COVID-19 policies and practices. You can find the most current mask guidelines, screening requirements, and gathering restrictions on the Emory Forward website. For now, plan to mask up when you’re indoors on campus.

Charges were posted to students’ OPUS accounts beginning in mid-July. Notifications of charges can be sent to a specific Bill Payer. Therefore, it may be helpful to discuss this topic with your student if you would like access to this information. |
