When to Arrive
Harding's Summer Stampede
After being accepted to Harding, the next step is to prepare you for your first semester on campus. We want to assist you in taking the best possible step for your university career. Attending one of the two Summer Stampede sessions is a great way for a new student to become acquainted with Harding and have a great start to your first semester. We have planned activities to introduce you to university life. Although it is not required, it gives you several advantages. At Summer Stampede:
- You will meet with an academic counselor to complete your class schedule. The advanced orientation sessions will help you schedule your classes, eliminating decisions to be made at the start of the busy school year.
- You'll preview campus life and find out what to expect during your first semester of college.
- You can update your housing needs.
- You will become acquainted with other new students (and maybe even meet your roommate). You will have an opportunity to meet new friends, as well as teachers, with whom you will spend the next four years.
This is your invitation to attend one of these sessions.
