Summer Orientation FAQ
When I went to register for TT, I learned there's a hold on my account---what do I do about this?
All incoming students have an Advisor Hold that will be released after meeting with their academic advisor during Summer Orientation. The hold will not affect your ability to register for Towering Traditions Orientation.
Where do students stay during Summer Orientation?
Students stay in one of our newest residence halls, Kennedy Hall, with suite-style bathrooms.
Do parents stay with their students during TT?
Parents do not stay with their students during Towering Traditions. We provide a listing of great hotels and accommodations that offer discounts to the parents and families of Belmont students.
What time do TT events begin and end each day, and what time is TT over?
You can expect orientation programs to begin between 8:00 am and 9:00 am daily and to end around 8:00 pm on Day 1. Day 2 will end around noon. You can access a schedule by downloading a Summer Orientation Schedule and Welcome Week Schedule.
What if I cannot attend Towering Traditions Summer Orientation?
While it is best to attend Summer Orientation, Welcome Week provides all of the necessary academic requirements for registration. Most students find it more convenient to register during Summer Orientation because course selection occurs no earlier than the day before classes begin in the fall.
