Next Steps: From Accepted to Enrolled

January 15, 2025 | 7 p.m. ET

Now that you’ve been accepted to UNE, you’re on your way to officially becoming a Nor’easter! There are a few things you need to do before joining us this fall, and our New Nor’easters virtual kickoff event is the perfect place to start! We walk through the necessary steps to take toward enrolling — including important deadlines, campus events, housing, and more.

Housing: All About Residential Life

February 12, 2025 | 7 p.m. ET

Let’s talk all things living on campus — everything from how and when to fill out your housing and dining contract to what to pack this fall. We also cover roommates selections, living learning communities, and programs offered to help you feel more connected and supported on campus.

Parents: Preparing Your Student for Success

March 19, 2025 | 7 p.m. et

The college selection and admissions process isn’t always an easy, straight line to navigate. From the research, the deadlines, the forms, and the checklists, to the rollercoaster of emotions at every stage there’s a lot to manage — especially if you’re a parent guiding the process. Join us for this parent-focused session as our director of first-year admissions along with a parent of a current UNE student candidly discuss ways to support your student through the twists and turns of the process. You’ll leave with tips and lessons learned from someone who’s been where you are, whether your student has already decided UNE is their home for the next four years or is still deciding.

First Year Experience: What to Expect

April 16, 2025 | 7 p.m. et

Your first day of classes at UNE will be here before you know it, and we couldn’t be more excited! In this session, we discuss preparing for all the firsts that are ahead — first day, first week, and first year. From what to expect at orientation to the programming and services available to you from day one, this session kicks off the countdown to — and ramps up the excitement for — your first day on campus.
