Where do I check in for Summer Orientation?
When you
arrive in Ripon, go directly to the Harwood Memorial Union. You may
check in any time between noon and 1 p.m. If you don't get a chance
to move in to your room, you may do so after dinner on the first day.
Can I request a roommate, such as a friend attending my same
session, during Summer Orientation?
We'll accommodate such requests to the best of our ability, however, please keep in mind that this program is designed to help you establish new connections and friendships with your Ripon College classmates.
How can people contact us while we're at Summer Orientation?
Ripon's
summer conference staff will be on duty throughout the program. Messages
can be relayed to orientation participants by calling (920) 745-8111.
If no one is at this number, call the conference staff two-way
pager at (920) 748-8703. Listen to the instructions, state your message,
stay on the line and a staff member will respond to the call.
Can I see the room I'll live in next year?
Housing
assignments will not be prepared until after Summer Orientation.
Please feel free to discuss with the Director of Residence Life any "updates" you
may wish to include on your previously submitted Housing Application
Form. This will allow us to have the most current information available
to complete housing assignments. Brochures with room dimensions will
be distributed during the program.
Do my parents and family have to stay in the residence halls?
No. A
list of area lodging is included in the newsletter. Families may choose
to commute, too. The Summer Orientation registration fee does not decrease
if families do not stay in the residence halls, as campus lodging is
complimentary.
What time can I depart on the second day?
Departure times will vary depending on your individual advising appointment
and any tasks you'd like to complete while on campus. Advising appointments
are randomly assigned and you will find yours in your welcome folder.
Appointments may be scheduled through 3:45 p.m.
Is parking readily available during Summer Orientation?
Yes. Parking is available in most campus lots and along city streets
not designated as no parking zones. Permits are not needed to park
on campus during Summer Orientation.
Will sessions be held in air-conditioned rooms?
Most sessions will take place in air-conditioned buildings; however,
residence hall rooms are not air-conditioned.
Are there phones in the residence hall rooms?
Phones are located in each room.
When you check in, you'll receive your phone number. Calling cards or pre-paid phone cards are required to
place long-distance calls.
Can I bring our family pet?
No. Pets are not allowed in the residence halls or campus buildings
during Summer Orientation.
