- Meet with accounting or financial aid for more in-depth questions
- Student Success & Engagement will introduce you to campus life beyond the classroom — student organizations, leadership opportunities, and the career services that connect what you study to where you’re headed
- Take a full campus tour or, if it’s not your first time on campus, tour the residence halls.
