Matriculation

Saturday, August 16, 8 p.m.

Matriculation is a tradition at Milligan where new students officially “sign-in” to the records of the college. This program is mandatory for all new students of the college. We invite all families of incoming students to attend this formal ceremony in which students join the Milligan community.
Express Books

The EXPRESS BOOKS program provides NEW STUDENTS with the opportunity to reserve textbooks in advance for all their classes, have the first opportunity to reserve used textbooks, and have textbooks waiting for them upon campus arrival.

How does Express Books work?
Students enroll in the program. (DEADLINE to enroll: July 19!)
The bookstore selects all books required.
Textbooks are placed in a personalized box.
Each box is held at the bookstore.
Books are paid for when picked up on Saturday, August 16.

It's that easy!
