Orientation Schedule

Welcome to the Family

As the parent of a UW-Green Bay student, you are now an official "Phoenix Folk": a valued member of our campus community, and an important contributor to your student’s college experience. We celebrate the opportunity to work with you to assure that your son or daughter has a satisfying and enriching educational experience!

Move In Day 2007

If your student is living on-campus, you know that move-in day is fast approaching! Here’s some important information to help make the move go smoothly. As always, if you have any questions about housing, please call the Office of Residence Life at 920-465-2040, or visit the Residence Life Web site. Good luck packing, and we’ll see you soon!

• On-campus students who are participating in the Focus Orientation may move into their rooms on the morning of August 30th starting at 8:30am. There will be lots of help available during this time and you can meet members of the campus community and perhaps the Phoenix Mascot. All University offices and the Phoenix Bookstore will be open at this time. University Dining will also be open for lunch.

• Your student should already have received a room assignment/roommate letter. Encourage your son or daughter to contact roommates prior to arriving on campus. It’s a great way to ease the anxiety of getting to know a new roommate, and a chance to find out who will be bringing what. It’s also a great time to begin discussing sleep and study habits, cleaning preferences, etc.

• Things to bring: extra-long twin size sheets, bed and bath linens, toilet paper and toiletries, laundry and cleaning supplies, telephone, alarm clock, flashlight and batteries, poster putty, food items, and pictures from home.

• Things not to bring: candles, incense, halogen lamps, open-coil cooking appliances, fireworks, weapons, lofts, or pets.

• Cables or cords you may need: High-speed Internet service and 60-channel television service are provided in all residence hall rooms and apartment suites as part of the Housing Contract. Residents must provide their own computer and television hookup cables. For your student’s computer you will need a CAT-5E cable (or CAT-6). For the television, your student will need a RG-6 cable (with F-style thread-on type connectors). The Phoenix Bookstore carries both cables.

What is FERPA?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.
