Other Important Information
Please begin planning for Commencement Weekend as soon as possible. Encourage family and friends to make hotel reservations early as area hotels fill up quickly. Please refer friends and family to the Visit Campus section of our website for additional information about local accommodations, driving directions, and more.
While the College appreciates the special nature of the owner-pet relationship, it also recognizes that animals have the potential to impose on the safety, health, personal well-being, and comfort of College employees and residents. With the exception of assistance animals, the College prohibits any person from bringing pets on campus.
