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.

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 board plan meal for students begins with lunch on August 21. Bring your student ID card.

The Milligan experience is about more than getting a great education. It’s about being formed into a follower of Christ, a fully-functioning servant-leader. The Spiritual Formation Program (SFP) brings the campus community together to grow in discipleship to Jesus. In addition to academic endeavors, all undergraduate students participate in SFP. In order to graduate, students must accumulate 150 SFP credits, which are earned by participation in Chapel services, approved service projects, and campus ministry programs such as FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), Diversity Forums, devotional breakfasts and select community events. A calendar of qualifying SFP events is provided each semester and posted at http://www.milligan.edu/community/spiritual/SFP.html. More details will be provided during Welcome Week. |
 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). |
