For your reference as you prepare to step onto campus in just a matter of weeks, we've sent you a recording of the Road to Occidental webinar (focused on housing and move-in), as well as the transcribed Q&A. You'll also find the link to our New Student Discord and a Spotify playlist curated specially for the class of 2027!
Dear students,
The full recording of last week’s Road to Occidental webinar (focused on housing and move-in) is now available to watch (or re-watch). We also want you to have the transcribed Q&A for your reference as you continue to organize your calendar and prepare for your big start in August.
Speaking of move-in, submitting your photo for your student i.d. will help speed up the check-in process this August. Submit your passport-style photo here by Saturday, July 29. You’ll also be choosing your four-digit room code. Note: you’ll log in to your MyOxy portal to complete the form and will use your full @oxy.edu email as your username.
As you prepare to meet your roommate(s), you might remember that in your application to Occidental, you submitted the title of a song that you’d enjoy listening to while meeting them and moving into your dorm room; we’ve compiled everyone’s responses into a Spotify playlist that you can listen to here! (You may have gotten a preview during our admitted student days.)
Lastly, if you have not yet done so, we recommend that you join our New Student Discord channel. Here, you can get to know other incoming students, as well as admission staff and many current Oxy students. This is a great space to ask any lingering questions you may have about your arrival in August.
That’s all for today! Have a fun and safe weekend.
