VISITING SAN DIEGO BARTELL HOTELS University of San Diego has formed a partnership with Bartell Hotels. Richard Bartell, a School of Law alumnus, has opened the doors of his eight premier hotels to the USD community. The USD–Bartell Hotels partnership means you receive a special rate when you book your stay at one of the conveniently located Bartell Hotels in San Diego. A portion of the room cost comes back to USD to support student scholarships, promote university events and marketing efforts and create community awareness about the partnership.
“We’re opening our doors to you and contributing to USD every time you visit.” — Richard Bartell ’75 School of Law
To take advantage of these special rates and USD family amenities, visit bartellhotels.com/ usdpartnership or call 800.345.9995 to book your stay at any of the Bartell Hotels.

CLASS SCHEDULES RELEASED Your first-year student should receive his/her class schedule, housing assignment, and Living Learning Community (LLC) assignment by the middle of this month. Their LLC and their courses are selected based on the First-Year Student Advising Questionnaire. If your student has any concerns, he/she may schedule a call with a summer scheduler. They will also meet with their academic advisor during OLÉ! Weekend and will be able to make changes at that time.
INTERESTED IN VIEWING YOUR STUDENT’S RECORDS?
HAVE YOU ATTENDED A SUMMER SEND-OFF?
Through the MySanDiego portal FERPA authorization, your student may grant you access to his/her records on your personalized MyUSDStudent portal. For a step-by-step howto, visit the Resources tab on the Parent and Family Relations website.
Summer Send-Off events are a great way to connect with other incoming families from your area, meet USD administrators and get all your questions answered. Visit the Parent and Family Relations website to view the full list of dates and locations.

TRANSITIONING TO USD
The deadline to enroll in or waive USD’s health insurance is Sept. 13. If your student doesn’t waive it, he/she will be automatically enrolled and charged.
The campus is full of activities and opportunities to meet students, such as Torero Welcome Week beginning Sept. 6 and the Alcalá Bazaar on Sept. 10. Campus Recreation also offers intramural sports clubs and recreation/fitness classes. Urge your student to get involved!
Your student may undergo an emotional roller coaster. Refer to the W-Curve to put your student’s transition into perspective. Also, Residential Life will conduct Third Week Check-ins beginning the week of Sept. 15. All first-year students will attend a small community meeting with the USD Wellness staff to provide a space for dialogue about wellness and their transition to USD.

MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES
“GET INVOLVED!” IS THE BEST ADVICE.
Students are faced with many decisions about how to best use their time, how they will take care of themselves and even what choices they are going to make around alcohol or other drug use. You play an important role in encouraging them to seek help and make healthy decisions.
New students may begin to experience bouts of homesickness around this time. Encourage your student to get connected to the USD community by joining a club or organization and by attending on-campus events. To see all clubs offered at USD, visit the Student Leadership, Involvement and Changemaking Center. And don’t forget to register for Homecoming and Family Weekend!

TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME?
USD GOES GREEN FOR MOVE-OUT!
Students can better manage multiple demands by planning ahead and meeting with their advisor, talking with their resident assistants and exploring healthy choices from the Center for Health and Wellness Promotion.
Donation bins are located throughout campus starting this month for any items students no longer want or need. Encourage your student to begin organizing items for move-out.
