Week One 2008
Travel safely to campus and see you on the hill soon!
All new students at St. Olaf College participate in Week One, the college's orientation program. The dates for Week One 2008 are August 30- Sept. 2 (Classes begin Wednesday, September 3). This comprehensive program will cover almost everything you need to know to help you get off to a great start -- and on your way to being a successful Ole.
To the left you will find links to the Week One Schedule which will give you an idea of what to expect in this busy, important beginning of your career at St. Olaf. The schedule is just an overview of the week's activities. The 2008 schedule will be updated throughout the summer. You will receive a final and more detailed schedule booklet upon check-in into your Residence Hall on opening day.
So whether you are a first-year, transfer, or international student, we are excited to have you join the St. Olaf community and look forward to your arrival in August!
WELCOME!
This year's opening weekend and Week One coincide with the Republican National Convention which is being held in St. Paul. This will affect airline travel and hotel accommodations in the greater Minneapolis/ St. Paul (including Northfield) area during that time. Please take this into consideration if air travel or overnight accommodations are needed for you and/or your family.
