First Year Summer Communications

Enrolling at Notre Dame is a new beginning. We'll help you find what's next. This summer, you can expect to find helpful reminders and resources here. Our mission is to accompany you not only through this time of transition, but through your transformative first year as a Notre Dame student.

Below you can find PDF versions of "First Steps Home," your Center for University Advising Summer Newsletter, as well as select letters sent to your ND Gmail account. The date listed for each edition of First Steps Home may differ from the date in which you received your copy. Your reception is contingent upon the date of your enrollment at the University of Notre Dame. If you are an enrolled student and have not received the First Steps Home newsletter via your new ND Gmail account, please contact firstyear@nd.edu.

Throughout the month of June, the Center for University Advising hosted periodic Zoom meetings in which first-year students engaged with college-specific Academic Advising Teams. These teams consist of all the First Year Advisors from either the School of Architecture, College of Arts and Letters, Mendoza College of Business, College of Engineering, or College of Science.

These meetings helped prepare students for their July Advising Meeting. If you are a first-year student and were unable to attend a meeting in June, please contact firstyear@nd.edu. We look forward to meeting you!
