Scot Week 2022

 

Scot Week takes place right before classes begin and will help you get oriented to campus and meet your fellow classmates.

Okay, new Scots!

Here's your orientation schedule! Some things to ask yourselves:

  • Did I complete my Becoming a Scot activity to make my student ID? (It's also your meal swipe card, so you DEFINITELY want to have this done!)

 

  • Did I set up a payment plan or check in with Jill Varner at 870-307-7322?

 

  • Is my housing already arranged?

 

  • Did I apply for a parking sticker?

 

  • Did I send in my immunization records (and physical, if you're an athlete)?

 

  • Have I submitted my final HS and/or college transcripts?

 

We are here to help! You can email kristi.price@lyon.edu with questions.
