Admissions

    Griffin Day – Mandatory Pre-Orientation for New Students


    All incoming students are required to attend ONE Griffin Day. This mandatory pre-orientation is designed for all incoming First-Year and Transfer Students. We also encourage Parents, Guardians, and other supporters to join you on campus, with a special schedule of events planned just for them!

    At Griffin Day, you'll get an inside look at student life and academics at Chestnut Hill College. You’ll also connect with your student support team and advisors. All placement tests must be completed by June 30 to register for classes. If you’re unable to complete testing beforehand, staff will be available on Griffin Day to assist you.

    Representatives from Financial Aid and Student Accounts will be on-site to answer any questions and help finalize your financial plans for the school year. Plus, you’ll have a great time meeting your new classmates!

    Important Notes:

    • International students do not need to attend Griffin Day.
    • If you are unable to attend, you must complete all placement tests, submit all required forms via your myCHC checklist, and set up a payment plan.
    • Students with an outstanding balance and no payment plan will NOT be permitted to move into their dorms on Move-In Weekend.
