Welcome to App starts with Appol Corps Time. At 1:00pm the day after you move in, your Appol Corps Orientation leaders will meet with your assigned group in the main lounge of your residence hall floor. Appol Corps Time is an extension of your summer orientation and is geared toward helping you learn your way around campus, making friends, and learning more about the university before classes start. The schedule includes programs that will help you feel comfortable and confident about life in and out of the classroom. Many of the events are just about making friends and having fun!
