Congratulations on your decision to attend Towson University!

We’re very excited to welcome you to the Towson University family and help you make a great start to your college career.

In order to make your transition to TU as smooth as possible, we have created the 2012 Freshman To-Do List with important tasks for you to complete before you start classes. We encourage you to visit campus over the summer to take care of the items on your To-Do List—such as completing your immunization requirements and getting your OneCard—and to become familiar with the area where you will be commuting or making your new home.

Effective upon your enrollment, Towson University will communicate important information to you using your personal email account and your TU NetID computing account. Remember to:

  • Activate your NetID and check both your personal email account and TU NetID account regularly for information about this To-Do List and your NetID online to-do list. See Activate Your Net ID in this packet for additional information.
  • If you do not receive Towson notifications at your personal email account, please email your full name, mailing address, and old and new email addresses with “email change” in the subject line to admissions@towson.edu.
  • Share this information packet with your family. If you require additional information or assistance with any step in the To-Do List process, contact the department directly using the telephone number located on each packet insert.

Faculty and staff are busy planning your transition to Towson. You can expect many fun activities to help you get to know your classmates and professors, as well as many resources for ensuring your continued academic success. Please consider registering for one of our popular pre-orientation programs, Tiger Talks, Project Marj and Project Serve, to get an early start on your exciting new journey as a Towson Tiger.

We are looking forward to seeing you this fall. Welcome to Towson University!
