OTHER IMPORTANT DATES.
Waivers are due on Friday, August 4, 2023, at the latest. We prefer them as soon as possible once you are registered as this helps us prepare meals and curriculum design.
ARRIVAL TO CAMPUS and ACCOMMODATIONS
Please plan accordingly as move-in day is physically and emotionally draining. The program starts that day and it will be very busy with long days until classes start. You are unable to move into your rooms before the morning of August 18th.
If you live further away from campus we recommend you travel into the area the night before and secure accommodations to maximize your short move-in time span (3-4-hours). If you live nearby, we recommend packing up the day before and leaving early to allow for time to unload into your room.
If you need help sorting through the details of airports, train travel, shuttles, rental cars, places to stay, etc. please reach out to us for support at jumpstart-reg@willamette.edu. You can also check out this webpage for support. If you as the student are traveling alone to campus without family or guardian support, please also email to ask for assistance as needed. We may be able to provide other solutions to support you in your travels.
