Heading to the Heights

Mandatory for all incoming first year students.

Consider your Summer Welcome as your first official day as a Dolphin, but in a more relaxed, virtual atmosphere. Your session will help you understand what summer and the first couple of weeks at Le Moyne will be like and you will have a chance to meet your classmates too. This will help you feel fully prepared for your fall arrival. When you finish your Summer Welcome session, you can relax, knowing that most of your “business” of becoming a Le Moyne student has been successfully completed.

Register for Summer Welcome

Connections between students and faculty can be an important factor in student success.

Therefore, students will have an opportunity to meet a faculty member from their major (or a Student Success professional for undeclared students) to help them prepare for their journey. During Advising Week, students will meet in groups with a faculty member and see a draft of their fall course schedule. Schedule changes will occur throughout the summer. Advising Week meetings will take place in late June. (Students will RSVP for an Advising Week session in mid-May.)

This summer visit to the Le Moyne Heights will be your first official large event with other committed members of the Class of 2027. This informal event is a chance to celebrate with the other members of your class and to connect in-person with your First Year Class Dean and other members of the College who will help you with your transition to the Heights this fall. There will be fun activities for students and helpful information available for students and families. Can't make it? Don't worry; this is optional.

College can be puzzling at first ... new roommates, new classes, new schedules, new experiences. Students enrolled in small-sized living learning communities at Le Moyne find their participation makes all of this newness less overwhelming – and their transition to college life smoother, both academically and socially.

Explore Current Learning Communities

This is where your new life as an adult college student truly begins. With car unloaded and books in hand, you now have the opportunity to go out of your comfort zone to begin new friendships, enroll in classes far different from those you took in high school, and live independently and on your own schedule (whether you’re on campus or a commuter). The best thing about arriving at Le Moyne is that you will be able to build the confidence to stretch yourself because you’ll find the people (students, faculty and staff included) and the environment warm and open to you. But that’s probably what you’ve already noticed about this College – now your College.

What to Bring
Residence Life
Student Handbook

Your first semester of college is a new experience, not a more intensive extension of high school. It will be natural for you to take time to become adjusted and to transition to this new way of life. Many new opportunities will be available to you. With that comes the independence to set your own schedule, live on your own, commute from home and fill your time with club meetings, athletic events, work on campus and hanging out with friends.

Integral Honors Program

We understand that your first year at Le Moyne is not just an adjustment for you. It’s an adjustment for your family, too. In a sense, parents and families are also joining the Le Moyne community, and we are happy to welcome our parents to the Heights. There are a number of ways that we can work together to provide your student with the appropriate balance of challenge and support necessary to thrive at Le Moyne.
