New Parents

On behalf of the Dean of Students, welcome to our Guide to Sewanee.  The Guide to Sewanee attempts to ease the transition for parents and students as they prepare for their Sewanee experience.  Here are the most important links:

To Do (forms/deadlines - intended for your son or daughter to complete)  -- IMPORTANT - Here's where you can help.  New students must have a physical examination and immunization records.  The University Health Service forms are due on July 2, and we recommend making an appointment with your primary health provider asap.

Orientation Schedule (so you know where they are or should be during those first few days)

Parent's Orientation Schedule

Parent's Weekend (coming)

Parent's Welcome & Parent's Handbook

Tell Us About Your Child (a quick form to tell us what your son/daughter will not)

What Students Should Bring (please keep in mind that students share a space, roughly a 10x12 space.  If you need a 10 x10 uhaul to move, you're probably bringing too much.)

Financial Aid Information (general)

Your student will need to complete each form on or before the deadline (and we encourage before!).  Each form is essential in helping us to prepare for his/her arrival.
