Class of 2017

We could not be more elated to have you join the Northwestern community and we hope you are, too! During the summer months, however, there are a few items you need to check-off on your To-Do List before arriving to campus in September. All new students will receive a physical copy of Purple Prep in May. Purple Prep will have anything and everything you NEED to know before you get to Northwestern including all deadline dates between May and September (housing, financial aid, and other requirements). The Class of 2017 portion of the New Student and Family Programs site is just for you; ensure that you have reviewed the information on the site thoroughly so you are fully prepared to begin your tenure at Northwestern.
