Get Ready for Springboard!

Springboard is a required, two day, on-campus session during which you will meet with your advisor to register for class, finalize financial arrangements, meet classmates, take placement exams, and prepare for your coming move to Centenary.

Getting Ready

  1. The most important step is to work toward completing the items on your post-deposit checklist. One of these items is your Springboard sign-up (see above); for the rest, you'll be emailed a special link within a few days of paying your enrollment deposit beginning March 1.

  2. You must have proof of the meningitis vaccine prior to registering for classes, so schedule this before you attend Springboard.

  3. Consult with your parents about the financial arrangements that you will make while on campus. Research your options for different payment plans.

  4. Start thinking about registration. Explore our Majors and Departments before your Springboard.

  5. Pack accordingly; make sure you look over our list of things to bring.
