You can purchase your books before classes online or in person. The Bookstore will also be open on Saturday, but I’d recommend taking care of everything beforehand.
A: You should get what meets your needs in terms of how you use it, where you use it. We do not have a standard computer or operating system that we recommend. It's completely up to you! Additionally, Ursuline has multiple computer labs, laptops, iPads and printers for our students to use throughout campus. Many students utilize Ursuline's resources while others find they prefer to work on their own device.
Q: I’m a student athlete; will Fall Orientation interfere with practice? A: The Orientation team has worked with the Coaches to set up times for practice that are part of the Fall Orientation schedule.
Q: Can I be in an orientation group with my friend or roommate? A: We don’t take requests to be in specific orientation groups with other new student. After all, you already know your friend, and we want you to begin making more friends! However, you and your friend will have many opportunities to socialize and be together.
Q: Does Orientation cost anything?A: Orientation does not cost anything for the students or parents and family members attending.
Q: I am a commuter student; do I have to attend Fall Orientation? A: The Orientation program is for
