The Gustavus Adolphus College Class of 2010 began course registration this week (June 20-22). Each student comes to campus and meets with a faculty member to discuss course options and possible degree plans.
The incoming students not only request classes and get their student ID cards, but also tour residence halls, attend workshops on choosing a major (and what you can do with it), and are introduced to campus resources from technology to health services.
Concurrent sessions for parents cover a variety of topics including how to communicate long distance, talking about financial matters proactively, and financial aid.
