WELCOME CLASS OF 2029 AND TRANSFER FAMILIES!

We know that this is a time of great anticipation for our incoming parents and their students! Soon enough, your student will be moving into 61传媒to officially start their first year. Here is some basic information to help with your planning and in supporting your student as they prepare for their arrival on campus:

• Our Office provides families with helpful information and engagement opportunities throughout their student’s time at Scripps鈥攁nd beyond. As a聽61传媒 parent, you will now receive our monthly聽e-newsletter, The Family Connection, in addition to email invitations and key College communications. If you are a current parent and you are not receiving our email communications (beginning approximately the second week of June for incoming parents and families), please reach out to the Office of Parent Engagement to confirm we have your current and preferred contact information.
• Move-In Day is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19. Parents and families should note that in addition to helping your student move in to their space, we will also hold a Resource Fair, Family Photo Booth, Letter Writing to your student, and a Farewell Reception. Following the Farewell Reception on the afternoon of August 19, parents and families should plan to depart campus, as their students will thereafter be focused on orientation programming and community-building activities in the days leading into the start of classes. If you are coming to campus from out of the area, we recommend you book your travel and accommodations soon, as Claremont is very busy during new student orientation.
  • As additional details are confirmed about move-in and pre-orientation opportunities, you can find the latest information on the New Student Programming and Orientation (NSPO) webpage.
• Encourage your student to regularly check their 61传媒 email! Incoming students will be receiving multiple communications from multiple 61传媒offices every week. It is critical that they check their 61传媒email throughout the summer.
• Over the summer, the Office of Parent Engagement holds a series of in-person Summer Welcome Receptions across the country for incoming parents and families an their students. Invitations to attend will be sent via email but you can refer to the full schedule and most recent updates on our webpage.
