Your housing application is due this coming Monday June 1st. This deadline applies to any new incoming student (transfer included). Jason Jakubowski from University Housing posted a letter on Commonplace that explains how to apply.
After housing, the next BIG thing is course registration. Many of the VU schools have just recently sent out registration information (don’t worry, those of you who were recently admitted from the waitlist, you won’t miss anything - it will get sent to you too). Registration at Vanderbilt progresses in distinct phases that may take some time to get used to. The Office of the Registrar has a nice description, as well as other essential information for undergrads on the course registration process. The Dean of Students also has some good info available.
Here’s something to get you pumped up for move-in day, but moms be warned, there’s some Kleenex moments . . .
Potential Incoming Class of 2014
For those of you who are rising seniors and are looking to apply to the Vanderbilt class of 2014, the Common App and Vandy Supplement goes live on July 1, a little over a month from now. Yeah . . . I know, I’m sorry.
Incoming transfer students
The registration process operates through your college/school and the request period is June 8-26, just like first-years. Make sure to submit a final copy of your current college transcript (the one you’re leaving) as soon as possible so Vanderbilt can assess your course credit and add it to your official record. For transfer student FAQ’s visit the Dean of Students’ Transfer info page.
Incoming International Students
Hopefully by now you have been in touch with our ISSS Office about your travel arrangements and visa. If not, contact Vanderbilt ISSS soon. You can also start to get to know our community by geting in touch with current Vanderbilt international students through our new Global Ambassadors network.
PreVU, our signature summer & fall program for rising seniors is now up and running for registration. It’s a 3/4 day program meant to build on our Black and Gold Days experience by providing much more depth into the Vanderbilt academic experience. You will hear from academic deans, get a insider’s view into the admissions process, and have lunch on us at the Commons Dining Hall (wood fired pizzas, believe it). This program routinely gets high ratings by visitors on College Confidential and was given an “A” grade as one of the top college visit programs in the country by Smart Money Magazine.
Waitlist Update
We are watching the deposits and declines come in daily and meetings are on-going to determine the status of our class. At this point I don’t think I’ll have much of an update for you until much closer to May 1. If we’ll be making offers from the waitlist, we will likely begin doing so in early May. Remember, while we model our class in order to make offers from the waitlist, our ability to do so is always based on conditions at the time. I’ll be posting updates when I know more. For now, go double check the Waitlist Confirmation Emails Going Out post to make sure you are officially on our waitlist. Remember that you can get quick answers for your questions at waitlist@vanderbilt.edu.
Admitted Students
Remember that you have until May 1 (postmarked) to respond to our offer of admission. If you have questions about your financial aid package, call the Office of Student Financial Aid and Undergraduate Scholarships (800-288-0204) or email them at finaid@vanderbilt.edu. Let our office know if we can be of any assistance (800-288-0432). Good luck with your decision.
Enrolling Students
If you have already sent in your deposit (either for ED or just recently for RD) congrats and welcome! The next thing to look for is the “Road to Vanderbilt” brochure which will drop the middle of May. I saw a copy of it just the other day and it has a TON of great information in it about housing, class registration, CommonVU, move in and all things Commons.
Good luck to all current Vandy students running in the Country Music City Marathon this weekend. As an avid non-runner, I am in awe of you. Run fast.
