So… I just got notified that tomorrow is the New Student Convocation. I’m about 4 hours away and was planning on driving up to UF on Sunday… Maybe even Monday.
Is is REALLY mandatory that I drop everything and attend?
Yes, I believe it’s required for all students in Summer/Fall, so the only people exempt are PACE and IA students.
You must have received a notification prior to now.
Yes, but they will have a make up “session”. Stay with your plan, if it’s too much of a hassle coming up Friday. You can watch the convocation, online, so you’ll not miss anything.
Some of my roommates didn’t attend last year and they said they were not penalized for it at all. Many freshmen I know aren’t attending either.
