GETTING STARTED This section of your Torero Countdown Handbook will help you get started by connecting you to technology you will use throughout your time at USD. Learn about claiming your USDOne Account, using your MySanDiego portal, and apps you can download to help you stay connected at USD.

USDOne Account Claiming your USDOne account is the first essential step in transitioning to USD. The USDOne SelfService Account Management System will give you one centralized username and password for more than 50 USD systems, including Blackboard (used for many of your classes), the MySanDiego portal (where you will conduct much of your academic and financial business while a student), email, WiFi access and Sally Library System.

MySDMobile App The MySDMobile application suite can be used to view a GPS-enabled interactive map of the USD campus, including where your classes are located, to call or email faculty and staff members, get information on scheduled courses and browse through the university’s library catalogs. You can even pay and check-in with your virtual Torero Card on the MySDMobile app. sites.sandiego.edu/mobile

u To claim your USDOne account:

USD Insight App

• Visit my.sandiego.edu (Do NOT log in to the portal.)

MySanDiego Portal MySanDiego portal is where you will find important tools and information you will need — not only to prepare for your first year at USD but throughout your time here. Hopefully, you checked your portal while waiting for your admissions decision, and have checked your financial aid award there, too. It is not only where you paid your commitment deposit to USD, but is also where you will go to register for classes, pay your bill, check your grades and conduct much of your academic and financial business. Throughout your years at USD, you will see different tabs and have access to different information, so it is a good idea to get in the habit of checking the portal regularly. Your MySanDiego portal is also where you will find your New Student Checklist to help you keep track of tasks and deadlines throughout the summer.

GETTING STARTED

u To learn how to navigate the portal:

• Visit sandiego.edu/onestop • Click on Video Tutorials to watch the following: -- “Getting to Know the MySanDiego Portal” -- “Navigating Financial Aid and the MySanDiego Portal”

ORIENTATION Your orientation experience started the moment you decided to attend USD and continues through the start of classes this fall. Our goal is to make this important transition as easy, informative and fun as possible. It starts with our Torero Countdown: Your Virtual Summer Orientation, a series of virtual activities and events over the summer, and ends with our on-campus OLÉ! Weekend just prior to classes starting. All of these steps are intended to help you and your family learn what to expect at USD.

Webcasts During the month of May, we will be hosting three Torero Countdown webcasts that will walk you through important steps you need to complete before your arrival at USD. Each webcast focuses on a different topic to prepare you for your transition to USD. u To participate in our virtual summer

orientation experience:

• Prior to each webcast, you will receive an email inviting you to sign up to attend and detailed instructions about logging in the evening of the webcast. • Tune in at 6 p.m. (PST) to attend the following webcasts: -- May 10 “Get Classes: Registration” -- May 17 “Get Down to Business: Paying Your Bill, Getting Your Aid and Avoiding Long Lines” -- May 24 “Supporting Your Student’s Transition” Parent and Family Webcast

Live Chats Throughout June, July and August you may have questions about your transition to USD. What do I bring? Where do I eat? What will I do during OLÉ! Weekend? When do I meet my preceptor? What is an RA? PA? LLC? Our goal is to help you feel as prepared as possible to transition to USD, answer your questions and connect you to campus resources. That is why we have set up an online live chat system for you to utilize throughout the summer! For more information on how and when to live chat with us, visit the orientation website. sandiego.edu/orientation

Weekend is Friday, Aug. 26, through Tuesday, Aug. 30. During this five-day program, you will move into your residence hall room, meet your commuter cohort, meet your fellow classmates, connect with your faculty advisor and begin experiencing life in your Living Learning Community (LLC).

New international students have special permission to move in on this early date. In addition to immigration-related information, you will benefit from several social events to help integrate into the USD community and to meet other international students at USD.

FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE As a first-year student you have the opportunity to participate in our signature Living Learning Communities program, which integrates your experiences both in and out of the classroom. In this section, you will learn about Living Learning Communities, the Residential Experience, Commuter Student Experience and the Preceptorial Experience. These experiences are designed specifically for you.

Living Learning Communities and Preceptorial Program All first-year students, including commuters, will be in a Living Learning Community (LLC). Your LLC will help you make connections from the day you arrive on campus with peers, faculty, resident assistants (RAs), preceptorial assistants (PAs) and others. Throughout the year, you will participate in curricular and cocurricular activities related to the theme. All this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; learning in a small group, getting to know your professors, making connections with classmates and sharing ideas and experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201D; helps you become a more involved member in our Torero community. The USD Preceptorial Program combines aspects of a first-year seminar course and academic advising with a regular class. The preceptorial classes are linked to your LLC theme and are limited to 20 first-year students. This class size makes them about one-half the size of a regular first-year class.

LLC Themes for 2016-17 Academic Year

Change

Intersections

Faith and Reason

Natural World

Globalization

Social Justice

Insight

Sustainability

People to Know During Your First Year

Selecting Your LLC

Your Preceptor A preceptor is the full-time faculty member teaching the preceptorial class. In addition, this faculty member serves as your academic advisor until you declare a major.

You will be asked to prioritize your top theme choices on your First-Year Advising Questionnaire (available Tuesday, May 17, at 8 a.m.) on your MySanDiego portal. Here are some tips:

Preceptorial Assistants Preceptorial assistants (PAs) are successful continuing students who serve as academic mentors for first-year students. They are assigned to, and responsible for, a particular preceptorial class.

• Think broadly about your passions when reviewing the theme descriptions. Which intrigue you? Which do you feel connected to?

Resident Assistants Resident assistants (RAs) are continuing students who live in your residence hall and facilitate your transition to USD and serve as a resource for your first year. Theme Coordinator Theme coordinators are the lead RAs within the LLC. They fulfill all the normal RA roles with some added responsibilities for planning and promoting LLC activities. Community Director Community directors (CDs) are full-time staff who live and work in each of the residential communities. Your CD supervises the RAs and works with the LLC faculty and PAs to create events. CDs are also excellent resources for assisting with any challenges you may be facing from academic concerns to learning to live with a new roommate. Resident Ministers There is one resident minister (RM) for each residence hall. RMs make connections between Residential Life and University Ministry. Resident ministers are your allies and confidants, available to answer questions about everything from faith and spirituality to stress, relationships and decision-making.

FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE

• Visit sandiego.edu/llc and read about each theme.

• Review the list of preceptorial courses linked to each LLC theme. Your preceptorial doesn’t have to fit into your major or minor. Most preceptorials are general education (CORE) courses that count toward graduation, so prioritize courses, topics or disciplines that you want to explore further. • Your LLC placement will be sent out mid-July. Keep an eye out for the mail, as the assignments will arrive with a little welcome goodie from your new theme! First-Year Students in the Honors Program First-year students in the Honors Program are required to live in the Insight LLC. The Insight LLC allows incoming Honors students to connect with each other and build a sense of community early. They will enroll in one of the six linked Honors preceptorial courses and live in one residence hall. Honors students, like all other first-year students in the LLC program, can participate in various LLC activities both on and off campus, coordinate study groups in their dorms, attend classes together and undoubtedly develop close friendships. sandiego.edu/llc LLC@sandiego.edu

Commuter Student Experience All first-year commuter students participate in LLCs and all of OLÉ! Weekend. Based on the feedback from previous commuters, we have identified four LLC themes that we suggest you select from: Change, Faith and Reason, Globalization, and Social Justice. Each of these themes provide you access to an RA, common space in the residence hall of your theme, and the ability to connect with residential classmates.

During OLÉ! Weekend you will meet with your Commuter Student Leader and learn about commuter resources, including the Commuter Student Commons, your on-campus home away from home. Check your USD email in early August for your Commuter Student Newsletter with important information about your OLÉ! Weekend experience.

Living on Campus Ask any current Torero resident or the scores of alumni who once called Alcalá Park home, and they will tell you their No. 1 reason for living on campus is/was the sense of community that comes from living among their peers. Nothing can compare to the fun and excitement of living in an environment where the learning never stops and lasting memories are waiting to be made. In order to help you make a seamless transition to college life and community living, each first-year residence has live-in professional community directors, resident ministers and undergraduate resident assistants who are committed to helping you maximize your on-campus living experience.

Housing and Room Assignments Complete the housing application (available May 17, following completion of advising questionnaire). Must be completed by June 1! Note: You will not be able to pick your roommate or housing assignment. Housing assignments and roommate information will be emailed to incoming students by July 15. This email will include very important information with full instructions for the move-in process including traffic patterns, parking and other logistics designed to make your arrival and move-in a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Important Housing Documents The Community Standards, Housing Contract and Student Code of Conduct will be covered briefly during OLÉ! Weekend, but you are strongly encouraged to review them in more detail. Community Standards The Community Standards document outlines expectations for our residents as members of a larger community. In addition to the Student

Code of Conduct, all residents and their guests are expected to adhere to our residential community standards. The community standards are designed to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all students and the residential community. sandiego.edu/residentiallife/community-living/ community-standards.php Housing Contract The Housing Contract details the terms and conditions all students agree to when living on campus. sandiego.edu/residentiallife/publications/ Student Code of Conduct The Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities (the “Code”) are the standards of conduct that all community members of USD are accountable for. sandiego.edu/conduct

Hall Council Each residence hall features a hall council composed of residents in the area. Hall council representatives are selected early in the fall semester. The council works collaboratively with the community director, LLC faculty, resident assistants and preceptorial assistants to plan events for the community. Hall councils also work with the residential senator from Associated Students and Residential Life staff to advocate for community needs. Hall council events have included fall festivals, formals and holiday parties. Other hall council initiatives have brought about facility improvements, such as the installation of water filtration stations in residence halls.

Two-Year Residency Requirement Already excited about your second year at USD? The Second-Year Torero Experiential Program, or STEP, is the way in which Residential Life actively engages second-year students in their living environments. All second-year students live in apartments or suitestyle units. Opportunities are provided for students to gather regularly with their class, reflect on current topics and relevant community or individual issues.

Meal Plans

Meals

Meal Plans are designed to enhance your USD experience. Unlimited access dinner and brunch meals offer a wide range of choices and foster a sense of community, while you break bread with other Toreros in the Pavilion Dining Room.

Meals expire at the end of each semester on the last day of undergraduate finals. Meals do not roll over from semester to semester.

You have your choice of a variety of meal plan options designed to fit individual eating habits and busy academic schedules. Whether you are interested in a hot breakfast, lunch on the run, a late night snack, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal meals, there are options for you. Meal plans are made up of meals, equivalencies, Dining Dollars and guest meals. In most instances, you will have a meal plan during your first and second year. The minimum required resident plan, which will be assigned for the academic year, is determined by your residential status and total number of eligible units. Required plans may not be reduced or canceled at any time. Once a meal plan is purchased or assigned for the year, that will be your plan for the fall and spring semesters. You will be automatically assigned the same meal plan that you have in the fall, for the spring semester. All of the meal plans, complete meal plan policies and FAQs can be found on the Dining website. sandiego.edu/dining

If you run out of meals, you may purchase a new meal plan, use cash, purchase Campus Cash or Dining Dollars any time throughout the year via the MySanDiego portal.

Equivalencies Some plans include equivalencies. An equivalency has a designated dollar value and may be used once during the daily dinner and weekend brunch time frames at any open retail dining location.

Dining Dollars Dining Dollars work just like cash and can be used at all campus dining locations on many food and beverage items. Dining Dollars may not be used to purchase grocery items, bulk candy, nonfood merchandise or alcohol. Unlike meals, unused Dining Dollars will roll over from the fall semester to the spring semester. Dining Dollars expire at the end of the spring semester on the last day of undergraduate finals. u To select a meal plan:

â&#x20AC;˘ Carefully review the complete meal plan options and policies before selecting a plan. â&#x20AC;˘ Select the plan of your choice online via the MySanDiego portal within the New Student tab. -- Purchase a plan on or before July 1. -- If a student is required to have a plan but does not select one by July 1, the minimum required plan will be automatically assigned to studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account.

LIFE AT USD

u To use your meal plan:

• You must present your Torero ID card at the register. • Meal plan meals may only be used at Pavilion Dining (Student Life Pavilion, level 1) for unlimited access brunch (on weekends) and dinner (daily). -- You may use one meal during those meal periods. -- Unlimited access means you swipe one meal and can return for seconds and more during the meal time frame. • À la carte prices apply to breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday in Pavilion Dining. -- You may use Dining Dollars, Campus Cash, cash, Visa or MasterCard to pay for à la carte items.

Dining Services As a Torero, you will experience delicious menus created by USD’s award-winning culinary team.
