We’ll keep in touch with you through your Conn email, so activate it as soon as possible to stay up to speed. After you make your deposit, watch for an email from Camel Account with the subject line “Your Connecticut College Account.” It includes instructions to set up your account.

6. Watch for information in May about The Camel Experience.

The Camel Experience is our online pre-orientation program for incoming students. It's a super-organized place—complete with a checklist—to find forms, training and other tasks you'll complete before you arrive on campus. And it will provide information you'll want on housing, first-year seminars and more. By taking care of these necessities before you arrive, you'll have more time during Welcome Weekend—our in-person orientation—to bond with your fellow 2029 Camels!

7. Check out our pre-orientation programs.

We'll host four different pre-orientation programs for 2029 Camels who want to learn about specific resources and opportunities. Read about the programs, but ignore the dates listed. They're for last year. We'll update them as soon as we have the information!

8.  Plan to attend Welcome Weekend.

This is our in-person, on-campus orientation and it's actually longer than a weekend! For the divine Class of 2029, it takes place Aug. 20-25, 2025. (Students attending pre-orientation programs will arrive in the days before Welcome Weekend.) A detailed schedule will be available in the summer!

9. Read the terms of admission.
