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.

Thank you for joining us for Choose SU! We hope to see you at Summer Orientation!
