The New Student Checklist will guide you through the tasks you need to complete to be prepared for the Move-In Day.
You enter CampusWeb here or by using the link at the footer of any page at on our website. You will access CampusWeb regularly, so do yourself a favor and save the link to your phone’s home screen or your browser’s bookmarks. Sign in using your email address and password provided.

Beginning in mid-July, you can explore course offerings online and build a pre-registration course schedule. This schedule will be updated and approved by your advisor during Orientation in August.
Billing
Your tuition statement will be available online on July 1. Information to enroll in a monthly payment plan offered by NelNet for $50 per semester as well as information on a Tuition Refund Plan offered by A.W.G. Dewar will be available. Students must waive the A.W.G Dewar Tuition Refund Plan through CampusWeb if it is not needed to avoid being unnecessarily charged.

Move-In Day
You will receive an email with move-in day instructions based on your assigned residence hall prior to move-in day.
