º«¹úAV is preparing for the start of the fall semester and Blue Nation Welcome Weekend!

Students in fall sports have already begun returning to the residence halls, as well as those in Living Learning Communities, Flight School and student leadership positions.

To be ready for the fall semester, students must have completed registration, financial aid (if applying for aid) and payment arrangements. These steps with instructions can be found in the Get It Done section at the bottom of the Current Students page of the website .
