We’re ready for you, Warriors! 🧡
Before welcoming the Class of 2030 to campus, Altus made a practice run through the Hendrix One-Stop Shop, just like our new students will on Move-In Day.
Here’s the game plan for New Student Move-In Day Via Hendrix, Tuesday, August 18:
🏠 Move In | 8 am-1 pm
Head straight to your res hall, where our Orientation (OR) team will help unload and get your things into your new home. Pro tip: Label boxes and belongings with your hall name and room number to make move-in even smoother!
🚗 Park and head to the SLTC
Once you’ve unloaded, park your vehicle(s), gather the family, and make your way to the Student Life and Technology Center (SLTC) for the Hendrix One-Stop Shop, open from 8 am-1 pm.
👋 Make the rounds at One-Stop Shop
Pick up your OR T-shirt, name tag, and program schedule, then take care of any last-minute items before Orientation officially begins. Staff from departments across campus—from Residence Life and IT to Financial Aid, Public Safety, Parent Engagement, the Chaplain’s Office, and more—will be together in one convenient place to answer questions and help you get started.
📸 Make some Move-In Day memories
Keep an eye out for photo opps along the way, and be sure to share your Move-In Day photos and tag Hendrix on socials!
🧡 Grab some Hendrix gear
The Spirit Store in the SLTC will be open until 3 pm with plenty of Hendrix swag and Move-In Day deals you don’t want to miss.
And that’s just the beginning. Lunch, the Class of 2030 photo, your first OR group gathering, Warrior Welcome, and more are waiting for you later in the day.
View the full OR schedule at hendrix.edu/orientation, and start planning your first days as a Warrior.
We can’t wait to welcome you home Via Hendrix!🧡
