Before you arrive on campus for Orientation, you are required to complete certain compliance requirements. It is very important that all requirements are submitted by the listed deadlines. If the compliance requirements listed in your Orientation checklist are incomplete by the due date listed, a hold will be placed on your registration, you will not be able to attend classes or clinical activities, and financial aid disbursements will be delayed until you have met all compliance requirements. We have contracted with a third party, Complio, where you will be able to access all of your Year 1 compliance documents. You will be receiving an email from the Office of Student Affairs, during the second week of May with instructions about how to access these documents in Complio.
