You should receive an email from the Office of Undergraduate Programs with links to the many sessions you can choose from. You can also go directly to Gies Groups and search through Events and choose a session that best fits your schedule.
To cancel or change your session, you can go back to the event in Gies Groups and choose a different session.
These sessions are manditory, so if you do not attend a session a hold will be placed on your account and you will not be able to register for courses until you attend a session.
Gies Scholars and James Scholars will attend a session with either the Assistant Director of Honors, or the Assistant Dean of Academic Programs. They will reach out to you directly. You will not need to register for a Gies Groups event.
