1:00 PM to 4:30 PM, Residence Halls
APPol Corps Time is an extension of orientation, but instead of being focused solely on academics, APPol Corps Time is geared toward helping you make friends, learning your way around campus and learning more about the university before classes start.
New students are assigned APPol Corps leaders according to what residence hall floor they are living on. APPol Corps Time happens the day after you move in. Your APPol Corps leader will email you when and where to meet at your residence hall.
Your APPol Corps leaders will serve as your guide and resource to many of the events happening during Welcome to App. Events are happening daily, and many events offer FREE FOOD and PRIZES, so be sure to check out our calendar of events to make sure you don't miss anything. At the end of the session, enjoy an Ice Cream Social with your APPol Corps leaders!!!
