What should I wear?
Orange County will be somewhat warm when you arrive, so please dress accordingly to accomodate the weather. Concordia is a relaxed atmosphere. Attire is casual and we encourage you to wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you will be walking around campus and engaged in sessions that require you to be active. How can I prepare for my arrival?
Prepare for your arrival by perusing our New Student Booklet & New Student Checklist. Here you will find information about our residence halls, meal plans, student mailboxes, campus resources, student involvement, etc. Check off the items on the New Student Checklist in which you have already completed. Be aware of the deadlines and paperwork required of you.
Also, continue checking your Eagles email and EaglesNest page as relative information on WOW, HOLDs, and/or housing information will be relayed to you. To expedite your Clearance process, take care of your HOLDs, otherwise you will be taking care of it when you check-in. Only those students who completed Clearance can check in for Housing.
