Weekly Wrap-up and Reminders

Happy Friday! Spring has sprung here in the Black Hills, and looks like it is here to stay. At least for the extended 10 day forecast! It looks like we will reach well into the 70s even on Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. I don't know about you guys, but I have never been so excited for summer to get here! Hiking, going to the lake, camping, and grilling is in our near future friends! I can smell the hot dogs just thinking about it! :)

A few reminders for all of you admitted students for the Fall 2010 semester. We now have a facebook page just for you guys! Click here. By joining this fan page, you will meet new students like you, learn important information on "what's next at BHSU" and more! Join today!

New Student Registration (NSR) is also right around the corner. Have you received your invite in the mail? If you haven't already done so, sign up for an NSR date and time ASAP at www.bhsu.edu/nsr. The sooner you sign up, the better chances that you will have to get a spot for the date and time that you want. Each session will be capped off at a certain amount of students, and they fill up fast! Therefore, sign up soon!! As always, if you have any questions about NSR or anything else, definitely contact us at the Office of Admissions at 1.800.ALL.BHSU, 605.642.6343 or admissions@bhsu.edu.

Another important item to be thinking about right now is housing contracts. If you are an accepted student for the Fall 2010 semester, you should have already received your housing application. If so, fill it out and return it with you $100 deposit as soon as you can, in order to get placed in the residence hall of your choice. If you haven't received your housing contract yet, you may not yet be accepted to BHSU, and we may still need some admissions items from you. If that is the case, definitely get in contact with us.

Thank you to all of you who attended Preview Day on March 19. With your guests, we had over 200 of you on campus for this event. How exciting! Our last Preview Day of the "season" is on Saturday, April 17. We ended up having to stop allowing registrations for the 3/19 Preview Day early since we had such a great response, so if you are looking to attend the 4/17 session, register ASAP in order to get your spot! You can do so at www.bhsu.edu/visit or by giving the Office of Admissions a call. Attending a Preview Day is a great way to see if BHSU would be a good fit for you. If you attend, you will have the opportunity to talk with current students & professors; eat lunch at the Hive, our student dining center; take a campus tour, learn more about scholarships & financial aid, and much more!

We've also had quite a few individual visits in the past few weeks as well, so "thank you" to all of those who have visited us on campus lately! We will be open throughout the summer months as well, so keep that in mind! We would love to see you.

Next week we are hoping to get some pictures up on the blog of campus, since the weather will be so beautiful. Stay tuned!

GO JACKETS!
