During Your First Few Weeks at UST You Should…

• Meet with your Academic Advisor following your SEVIS registration appointment to register for classes
• Activate your UST email account and check your account for messages from ISS. They will send you updates on exciting activities and on-campus events!
• Get your textbooks
• If you didn’t get your UST ID card at orientation, stop by the Card Office on the 1st floor of MHC. They can also answer any questions you have about meal plans, flex dollars or express dollars.
• Involvement on campus broadens knowledge of the university, develops leadership skills, adds to a resume and helps connect to the campus community. Attend Welcome Events and Activities Fair to learn more about getting involved!
• If you plan on working during your first-year, find on-campus jobs through Human Resources or off-campus jobs through the Career Development Center.
• Full-time students receive a campus mailbox. If you don't remember your mailbox number or combination, stop by the post office in the lower level of Murray-Herrick Campus Center (MHC) to get this information.
• Verify your address and enter health insurance information in Murphy Online.
• Review the online Undergraduate Policy Book to familiarize yourself with your rights and responsibilities.
• Go to class. Some classes may not have attendance requirements, but it is still important to attend! And don’t forget to get to know your professors!
• Get a parking permit if you plan to commute to campus
• Make a budget for your first-semester. Check out CashCourse for helpful reminders and tips.
