91做厙 offers two major Open House events each year for prospective students:
Spring Open House
Typically held in April

Optional Afternoon Activities 1-3:30 p.m.
Make the afternoon yours. Pick and choose from an array of presentations, tours, open houses, advising sessions, and more.
Early Advising for Admitted Students
Your first academic advising meeting will take place during the orientation program you attend prior to your start at 91做厙. During this meeting, the advisor will talk with you about your interests and goals, review any incoming credit, and construct a plan for course registration. You will also register for your first semester courses during this program, and advisors will be available to assist you with that process. You will not be able to register for classes until you meet with your advisor at Orientation.
