Orientation: Bison Bound

Once a student is accepted for admission, they will need to attend one of our Bison Bound sessions. At Bison Bound, future students will register for classes, get their IDs, parking passes, and take care of other necessary registration steps. Who knows, they might even meet their future roommate!

Welcome Weekend: Stampede

Stampede will kick-off on Thursday evening, August 19, following move-in. All new students beginning in the fall will attend Stampede - Harding's student welcome weekend. Students will move into their dorms, meet other students, and begin their journey at Harding!

New Incoming Freshmen and Transfers will be able to move into their dorms as early as Monday, August 16, but “official” move-in day will be on Thursday, August 19 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. A family picnic lunch will be hosted by Alumni and Parent Relations on that day. Students attending Bison Bound V will need to move in on Tuesday, August 17.
