Returning students, you will be able to check into your fall room assignments on Sunday, August 30, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Just go to the main office of the building you will be living in to begin the check-in process and receive your room keys. Not returning to campus housing: If you have decided you will not be returning to Franklin or if you have changed your housing plans for the fall, please email the Director of Residence Life ([email protected]). Continuing students who cancel their housing contract after May 10 (but prior to occupancy) will receive a $500 cancellation fee. After you have occupied your room, the cancellation fee increases to 25% of the contract ($1287).

Only approved athletes, student organization members, and students with prior approval will be allowed to move in early. If you are involved with one of these groups, your coach or advisor will provide more details regarding your early arrival. Should you have any questions about this policy or need to make arrangements for an early arrival for other reasons, please email the Director of Residence Life ([email protected]).

Unless special permission is granted by Student Affairs, all freshmen, sophomores, and junior students are required to live in Frank-

lin College residence halls or fraternity houses except:

Students residing with parents or legal guardians who live in Johnson County, Marion County, or at a location that is less

than a 30-minute drive to campus as determined by the college (verification of residence may be required).

Franklin College's contract with Comcast as our campus cable television provider ended in June. Throughout the Spring Semester, the college considered alternative services in addition to Comcast and ultimately decided to change our provider. Our new provider will be Campus Televideo, a company who focuses on providing satellite based broadcasts to college campuses. We are very excited about this change because it will allow us to provide students with digital broadcasts of all channels (56 high definition channels, 32 standard definition channels), the college also has the ability to select all of our channels instead of being locked into a package decided by the pro-vider, and it will include HBO and HBO Go for on-campus students! Thank you to all of the students who com-pleted the cable assessment survey Residence Life sent out during Spring Semester, your feedback was essential in selecting our new provider and the channels we will provide on campus.

One of the amenities offered to students living in the residence halls is cable television service available in each residence hall room. In order to make your TV work, you will need a QAM tuner. Most HDTVs built after 2007 have a built-in QAM tuner to receive this signal. Simply connect a cable cord and run a channel scan (be sure you're searching for digital signals). Every TV will be a little different so you may need to consult a user guide if you have trouble running a channel scan. If you have a standard definition TV or an HDTV without a QAM tuner, you'll need to purchase a separate QAM tuner box. There are multiple options under $40 on Amazon.com. Here is the channel lineup (bold channels are available in HD):

Franklin College requires that students complete a health form upon admission. In subsequent years, it is re-quired that you notify the Health Center of any significant changes in health status and update your insurance in-formation annually. Insurance can be updated through MyFC / Student Affairs. On the right, click Health Insur-ance Form and input the requested information. If insurance input assistance is needed, or if questions remain, feel free to contact the Coordinator of Student Health Services, Cathe DeCleene, by email (prior to August 2, 2014) at [email protected] or by phone/fax (after August 3, 2014) at 317-738-8090. Summer is a good time to review your immunizations. Tetanus booster is recommended by the CDC every 10 years, and depending on when you received your last dose, you may be in need. Information on all adult immun-izations can be found at: http://www.immunize.org/shop/views/adultsched_pg2.pdf. If abroad travel is in your future, a review of immunizations is extremely important, and no time is better than when you are at home. Information on recommendations for your specific travel destination can be found at http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel. Flu vaccines will be available again this fall. Students will be notified of availability and cost via email. The infor-mation will be sent to parents via newsletter once it is available.

Welcome back! Committed to maintaining a diverse community in an atmosphere of mutual respect, Franklin College provides an opportunity for students to live and study among other races, cultures, sexual orientations, economic backgrounds, religions, etc. To be successful in a diverse environment, students can ex-pect support from several administrative and academic depart-ments, including the Office of Diversity & Inclusion, where our mission is to promote a campus community that fosters the ho-listic development of underrepresented students by providing relevant services to support their academic pursuit, expressing genuine care for their personal development and well-being, ad-

vocating on their behalf, and encouraging the full use of all college resources. Our vision is to build and sustain an inclusive campus environment that values and respects all members of the Franklin College community. The Office of Diversity & Inclusion offers a wide variety of programs and services for the Franklin College campus, including the B.O.S.S. (Building Opportunities through Support and Structure) Mentoring Program, Brother to Brother minority male retention program, Diversity Advocates peer educator program, B.O.L.D. (Building Our Leaders Through Diversity) Living and Learning Community House, Diversity Workshops and Trainings, Resource Library, Diversity Programming Support/Consultation, Academic Assistance, Mentoring & Support, Safe Zone Training, and Multicultural Organization and Advisor Support, and also oversees the Diversity Lounge. The office strives to enrich the Franklin College experience for all members of the campus community. One program of highlight is the B.O.S.S. (Building Opportunities through Support and Structure) Mentoring Pro-gram, which pairs underrepresented Franklin College students with professionals in the Indianapolis community. The purpose is to provide students with an adult mentor who is outside of the FC campus community and to ex-pose them to successful individuals whom they may not have otherwise encountered. It also serves as an addi-tional level of support to underrepresented students at Franklin College, which should in turn assist in the reten-tion rates of the student population. If students are interested in signing up for the B.O.S.S. Mentoring Program, please contact Terri Roberts-Leonard at [email protected]. This summer we are running a school supply drive to benefit a local elementary school. Please feel free to drop off donations of NEW crayons, glue sticks, washable markers, composition notebooks, Clorox wipes, bookbags, rulers, pens, pencils, school boxes, highlighters, hand sanitizer, wide ruled spiral notebooks, folders, or three ring binders to the ODI office this summer or on residence hall move-in day. Your support is appreciated. Save the date for the Diversity Welcome Celebration on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 at 5 pm in the Branigin Room. You must RSVP to Terri Roberts-Leonard via email to attend. There will be dinner and an opportunity for you to learn more about ODI, the various multicultural organizations and be among people who value diversity in its multitude of forms at FC. The Office of Diversity & Inclusion is here to support you in any way that we can! Feel free to stop by the office, which is located on the second floor of the Student Center, anytime for help, information, or just to say hello and grab a snack! We look forward to seeing you at FC. Go Grizzlies! Please contact Terri Roberts-Leonard with any questions at [email protected]. Visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/franklincollegeodi and fol-low us on Twitter at fc_odi.
