Student Technology & Campus Access Timeline: What You Get After Admission

Summary

Once you're officially admitted to the university, you'll begin receiving access to various campus and technology resources. Access typically begins up to 120 days before the first day of enrolled classes, depending on your registration status. This guide outlines when you can expect access to key services like email, WiFi, course platforms, and campus amenities. If you've only applied but not yet been admitted, you won't have access to any resources.

Body

Question

What resources and benefits do I have access to as a newly admitted student?

If you have only "applied," you will not have access to any resources.

Applicant - Started an application, but is missing components or is in the process of review

Admit (conditional) - Completed an application, but in the process of other steps (like transfer credit review is pending or needs to complete step 2 for nursing, etc)

Admit - Admitted to the university (not program/major necessarily, but still may not have access to certain services until registered or later)

Registered/Enrolled - Registered in current/future courses (but still may not have access to certain services until semester starts or automatic uploads happen overnight)

Answer

Newly Admitted Students should have access to these services 120 days before the first day of enrolled classes.
