Admitted First-Year Students Day 2026

Friday, March 27 or
Saturday, March 28

Choose SU is a great day for our admitted first-year students and their parents/guardians! Meet current students and professors! Spend time touring campus and residence halls. Ask questions, check things out and get more of that Shenandoah vibe! The day begins at 8:30 am and normally finishes up around 4:30 pm, so plan for a full and fun day with us! We are excited to offer two dates this year. Both events will be the same, so only register for one.
