Sunday Check-In for 2nd & 3rd Summer Doctoral Students Only

Dear Returning Doctoral Students:

In response to student feedback, we will once again offer an expedited check-in procedure that will allow 2nd and 3rd summer students the option of returning to campus on Sunday, June 2, 2013, rather than on Friday, May 31st. This simplified Check-In allows you to pick up packets and purchase parking decals on Sunday afternoon, June 2, if you have met all your financial responsibilities. The following procedures apply to all returning students (including readmits and students returning from leave of absence). We hope you will find this procedure helpful!

Requirements for this Expedited Check-In on Sunday: In order to check in you must be “cleared” by Student Financial Services. In order to be “cleared,” you must meet the following requirements:

• Student’s account paid-in-full. Payment must be received by SFS before the end of day on bill due date, Wednesday, May 15, 2013.Please note that federal student loan/s are considered paid-in-full when the loan has been approved and all requirements have been satisfied to disburse the funds. Otherwise, proceeds from any type of private loan must be paid to SFS by May 15, 2013.

All students will be sent a Check-In Status report, via email, on Friday, May 17th, telling them what their check-in status is.

• Cleared Students: You may check in on Sunday, June 2nd, between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. You may still opt to attend Check-In on Friday, May 31st, between 11:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. if you prefer. Please note that if you have not checked in by 4:00 p.m. Sunday you must attend Late Check-In between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Monday, June 3rd, in Lilly Hall; a $125 administrative fee will be charged to your account for all Monday late check-ins.
• Students NOT Cleared by May 17th: If you are not cleared by Student Financial Services by Friday, May 17th, you must attend Check-In on Friday, May 31st. Please arrive between 11:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Also note that if you have not been cleared by Student Financial Services and you do not attend Central Check-In on Friday, May 31st, you must attend Late Check-In between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Monday, June 3rd, in Lilly Hall; a $125 administrative fee will automatically be charged to your account. Students with unpaid balances may be referred to the Dean to determine status of enrollment in program.
