Guest Orientation Schedule DAY 1 (JUNE 21 OR JUNE 27) The Orientation theme, “Connect, Inspire, Thrive” reflects the vision the First-Year Experience Team has for the Class of 2026. During the first year, our goal is to connect students with each other, faculty, staff, and the University; to inspire excellence; and for students to thrive holistically at Fairfield University. Begin to share your passions and who you are with the people around you, motivate each other to try new things, and together excel in each aspect of the Fairfield University experience. The song selected for your class is “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne. The theme and song combined remind students that you’re embarking on a beautiful new experience together. Everyone is here to support one another while you look forward to a bright new future. “When you’re next to me...I’m not afraid to be!”

Health Insurance Waiver 2022 - 2023 Fairfield University requires that all full-time undergraduate students maintain or purchase a Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant health insurance policy from a U.S. based provider. Under Fairfield’s “hard waiver” program, full-time undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in, and billed for, this policy each July for the upcoming academic year. Again, this is an annual process, and the waiver must be filed for each year coverage is not wanted. If a student has access to comparable or better health insurance through other means (e.g. parents’ coverage), and does not wish to be enrolled in the University sponsored plan, the student must complete the online waiver and provide proof of coverage. Once the online waiver is completed and reviewed, a full credit for the cost of the policy will appear on the student’s bill. To view the details of the University-sponsored health insurance policy, please visit www.gallagherstudent.com/fairfield. Students from outside Connecticut who carry HMO or network-based coverage are strongly encouraged to purchase the Fairfield University sponsored plan. To waive insurance coverage for the 2022-2023 academic year: — Sign into my.fairfield.edu — Search keyword health and select “Student Health Insurance Waiver” — Fill out the waiver and click submit

Add/Drop: A period of time at the beginning of each semester when students may change their academic schedules, pending course availability, without any academic penalty. The time to add or drop a class is the first five (5) class days of the semester.

To avoid being placed on probation, the University has cumulative GPA benchmarks for its students, based on the total number of credits earned.

At the end of a given semester, students are academically dismissed by meeting any of the following conditions: - A student who, regardless of academic standing, has received the grade of F in three or more three or four credit courses during the preceding 12 month period inclusive of all grades earned. - A student with 29 or fewer credits earned, who regardless of incompletes, while on academic probation proceeds to earn a semester GPA below 1.90. - A student with 30-59 credits earned, who regardless of incompletes,while on academic probation, proceeds to earn a semester GPA below 1.90 - A student with 60 or more credits earned, who regardless of incompletes, while on academic probation proceeds to earn a semester GPA below 2.0
