Getting Started at Concordia

Our goal is to make your transition to college life as simple as possible. That's why we host events leading up to the start of school to help you get acquainted with campus, your classmates and the Seward community.

Jump Start Day

Each year, Concordia hosts an optional Jump Start Day for confirmed students and their families so you can get answers to any last-minute financial questions and meet with your first-year advisor to begin planning your first semester courses.
