SWAGÊÓƵ

Getting admitted is a big step on the road to becoming a Nor'easter. We are excited to share our New Nor'easters event schedule for our Fall 2024 incoming class. These campus and virtual events are designed to connect you with the experiences and information you need — whether you are still deciding if SWAGÊÓƵ is for you or you’re ready to move forward.

Registering for Accepted Students Events

Register for accepted students events with the email address used on your application to SWAGÊÓƵ. If your email has changed since applying, email admissions@une.edu to update your information.

New Nor’easters Campus Tours

New Nor’easters tours offer a tailored visit for accepted students and families. Start your Biddeford Campus visit with an admissions counselor and go over your next steps as an accepted student. Then take a student-led tour through the areas of campus you’ll use most next fall, and learn about the opportunities awaiting you at SWAGÊÓƵ. Members of our Student Financial Services team will also be available to meet following your tour.

New Nor’easters Accepted Students Days

While our on-campus Accepted Students Days have passed, there are plenty of resources available to you as you prepare for next fall.

Next Steps: From Accepted to Enrolled

From January 25, 2024

Now that you’ve been accepted to SWAGÊÓƵ, you’re on your way to officially becoming a Nor’easter! There are a few things you need to do before joining us this fall, and our New Nor’easters virtual kickoff event is the perfect place to start! We walk through the necessary steps to take toward enrolling — including important deadlines, campus events, housing, and more. 

Housing: All SWAGÊÓƵ Residential Life

From February 15, 2024

Let’s talk all things living on campus — everything from how and when to fill out your housing and dining contract to what to pack this fall. We also cover roommates selections, living learning communities, and programs offered to help you feel more connected and supported on campus.

Parents: Preparing Your Student for Success

From March 7, 2024

The college selection and admissions process isn’t always an easy, straight line to navigate. From the research, the deadlines, the forms, and the checklists, to the rollercoaster of emotions at every stage there’s a lot to manage — especially if you’re a parent guiding the process. Join us for this parent-focused session as our director of first-year admissions along with a parent of a current SWAGÊÓƵ student candidly discuss ways to support your student through the twists and turns of the process. You’ll leave with tips and lessons learned from someone who’s been where you are, whether your student has already decided SWAGÊÓƵ is their home for the next four years or is still deciding. 

First Year Experience: What to Expect

From April 18, 2024

Your first day of classes at SWAGÊÓƵ will be here before you know it, and we couldn’t be more excited!

From what to expect at orientation to the programming and services available to you from day one, this session kicks off the countdown to — and ramps up the excitement for — your first day on campus.
