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, the admissions office hosts an optional Jump Start Day for confirmed students and their families to help your parents get any last-minute financial questions answered and you can meet with your first-year advisor to start mapping out your first semester courses.
