Hello, 

We don’t want you to miss any opportunities to connect with your incoming classmates and have some exciting adventures!  Space is still available on the Flathead Lake Biological Station trip, which occurs Aug. 17 – 21 before the Big Sky Experience. 

Find all the details and links to register here. Space is limited. 

In case you missed this last week, here are some key details about your transition to campus. 

• Residence Hall Arrival: Monday, Aug. 21 

• Students living in the residence halls will be asked to select an arrival period via the myHousing Portal. 

• Students in Grizzly Marching Band, athletics, the Freshman Wilderness Experience, the Flathead Lake Biological Station trip and other programs should follow early-arrival instructions specific to their group. 

• Big Sky Experience: Monday-Friday Aug. 21-25 

• First-year students (who are traditional-aged, under 21 years old) are expected to attend programming all week. If you have not selected your site activity you should do so before selection closes on Monday, Aug. 14.  Anyone who does not pre-select a group by this date will be placed into an open site when they check in. Register and select your site here. 

• Parents and families are encouraged to join their students for welcome events on Monday, Aug. 21, and the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 22. 

• View the Big Sky Experience schedule here. 

We can’t wait to see you in just a few short weeks – stay tuned for more specific information about arrival, parking and check in. 

See you soon, Griz!
