If a conflict arises between a practice and a required Orientation event, you should always attend the required Orientation event.

Foreign Language Placement Have you had Spanish, French, or German in high school and want to find your appropriate level at Coe? If you haven’t already completed our language placement test, come take it now so we can send you placement instructions before your first advising appointment.

Music Auditions Information regarding music auditions can be found on the first page of each day.

Summer Writing Exercise

All first-year students were expected to complete the Writing Exercise online prior to arriving on campus. If you have not completed the Writing Exercise, you must complete it at the designated time on Wednesday, August 20, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Each student’s paper is scored by two or three different faculty readers. Based on these evaluations, faculty advisors will receive recommendations concerning students who should consider enrolling in a writing course during their first term at Coe. All first-year students must complete the Writing Exercise before they can complete course registration.

Identification Cards All students must obtain a Coe identification card. The Coe identification card also serves as access to the residence halls. If you sent in a picture for your identification card this summer, you will receive your card upon check in at your residence hall. If you did not send in a picture this summer, please visit the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs in Upper Gage after picking up your residence hall keys. The office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. All ID cards are free of charge the first time. If your card is lost or damaged, a replacement costs $30.00. Students must carry their ID cards with them and present them to the host at each meal in The “U”. Upon turning 21 years of age, a student will be issued a new ID card in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. DO NOT PUT A HOLE IN THE CARD.

Orientation Week Championship Throughout the week of Orientation, you will note several events marked as CAP Team events. All of these events are in the spirit of fun and are a part of the “Orientation Week Championship.” Points are awarded based on participation with a bonus given to the win-ning teams of each CAP Team event.

The Victory Bell In 1995, Coe started the tradition of first-year students ringing the Victory Bell when they commence to their opening convocation. The bell is rung again four years later, at graduation, to celebrate the successful completion of a degree. The Victory Bell is symbolic in that it stands for what Coe has achieved in the past and hopes to achieve in the future. Its very name is synonymous with achievement, not only in the field of athletics, but in academics and the betterment of Coe as well.
