FALL 2024 INCOMING STUDENTS
Fall 2024 incoming students will receive their initial UCards in one of the following three ways:
-
STUDENTS ATTENDING AN ON-CAMPUS GUIDE TO THE U SESSION - Incoming undergraduate students who successfully submit approved UCard photos by June 1, 2024 will receive their UCards at the start of their on-campus Ready for the U session. Please note, that if you miss the June 1 deadline but successfully submit an approved UCard photo a week prior to your on-campus Ready for the U session, we will do our best to have your UCard available for you at the start of your on-campus Ready for the U session.
-
OTHER STUDENTS WITH DOMESTIC PERMANENT ADDRESSES - Undergraduate students who do not attend an on-campus Guide to the U session (or who did not submit an approved UCard photo in time), but who submit approved UCard photos by July 17, will have their UCards mailed to their domestic permanant addresses (as listed in SPIRE) at the end of July/beginning of August.
-
ALL OTHER STUDENTS - Students (including graduate and international students) who do not receive their UCards by one of the above methods, will pick up their UCards when they come to campus in the fall.
