The start of fall semester is an exciting time at Randolph-Macon College! We’ll have lots of activities, just for new students, as you experience the “buzz” of the start of school.
New Student Move-In and Check-In
Thursday, august 29
Let the fun begin! Move-in & check-in day is always a lot of fun. From meeting your roommate and hall mates to meeting your Orientation Crew, you’ll have lots of exciting milestones (and, yes, maybe a few emotional ones. We’re ready!)
Residential Students: Freshmen & Transfer students will select their check-in time through the “Move-in Sign-up” link located on MyMaconWeb, available in August. Move-in activities usually begin around 8:30 am, and families are welcome to join their students prior to the start of New Student programming, which begins at 4 p.m.!
Commuting Students: Freshman & transfer commuting student check-in is from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., followed by a Commuting Student Welcome Session. New Student programming begins at 4 p.m.!
New Student Orientation and Welcome Weekend

There’s a lot to know, which is why we schedule the whole weekend for all new students (including commuter and transfer students) for Welcome Weekend. Plan to participate in the whole event; A full schedule will be provided to new students during their check-in on Thursday.
Events are a mix of fun, and also helpful, as you meet people and learn to navigate college life.
