 Everyone at the college is eagerly anticipating your arrival! Professors are simultaneously preparing syllabi and pulling out their hiking boots. Dorm councils are planning nights of fun and friendship. Coaches are putting together training schedules, shining up the fieldhouse floors and making sure the fields are smooth and green.
Fall is an exciting time at Milligan.
Welcome Week activities are planned for first-year and transfer, traditional and non-traditional students. (Click
here for Welcome Week schedule) |
 NEW residence hall students are expected to arrive Saturday, August 15, between 8 a.m. and 12 noon.
The Student Orientation Staff will be on duty to “lend you a hand”
moving into your room during these hours. Residence Life Staff will
be on hand to register students for the Residence Halls and check
out keys. Everyone should stop at the Welcome Center in the McMahan Student Center to receive important information, orientation packets, instructions, etc. We will have refreshing beverages located around the campus during the day on Saturday to prevent dehydration from exertion and humidity. Take advantage of these beverages.
(New students should not arrive earlier than August 15.)
Returning students will check in Sunday, August 16, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Students who arrive prior to their designated time will have a daily charge of $20 added to their student account. Additionally, any early arrival must be pre-approved by Residence Life
(423.461.8735). Returning students who arrive earlier than this will NOT be permitted to stay in the residence halls unless they are involved in a school-related activity that requires them to arrive earlier and they have been approved by Residence Life. If the early arrival has not been pre-approved, students will not be allowed access to the halls. We want to encourage students and their families to make their plans around the approved arrival dates. The first board plan meal for students NOT involved with orientation will be dinner on August 18. Bring your student ID card.

There is a $100 fine for not registering a vehicle or not displaying a sticker.
Each vehicle driven/parked on campus must be registered. Operators of these vehicles are expected to learn and follow the driving/parking policies on campus (outlined in the Student Handbook). Violators of these policies are subjecting themselves to significant fines and loss of vehicle privileges. Fines range from $20 to $100 and must be paid within seven days in the Student Development Office or an additional fine of $10 will be added and the fine will be placed on the student's account. Receiving more than ten tickets can result in the loss of driving privileges on campus. |

A calendar of spiritual formation programs, including chapel services, convocations, lectures, campus ministry programs and community events qualifying for this program, will be provided each semester.

 Milligan College is offering a continuous service meal plan for students in the fall. The meal plan allows students to trade 15 meals per semester at the Student Center Snack Bar, more commonly called “The Grill”.
Students may also purchase a “Snack Bar Plus (SBP)” account. This account is available to all students. Residential students can add a SBP account to their standard meal plan on or before registration. This account allows students to grab a quick snack or meal at their convenience with the ease of using a prepaid credit line. The SBP
account provides a $50 meal credit line at the grill for an
additional charge of $40 to your meal plan. This 20% bonus credit is
only available with meal plans purchased on or before registration.
Additionally, if students want to add to their credit line, they may
do so at anytime after registration either in the cafeteria or the
grill with a 10% bonus credit. Snack bar plus accounts do expire at
the end of the academic year (May) |
