Information for New Students
We have compiled a list of sites and resources that could be helpful to new students.
This information is targeted toward veterans, although it may be helpful to others, as well. This information is generally specific to University Park Campus and may not be much help for those attending branch campuses.
If you need some help and don't see anything here that is useful, then please feel free to contact one of the officers.
We are here to help, and we are sure that we can either solve most problems or at least know who to get you into contact with.
Please also check the links page for other useful information.
