Pre-Orientation
Begin your college career with Kaplan Pre-orientation!
Students accepted into the Kaplan Humanities Scholars Program are invited to participate in the Kaplan Pre-Orientation program: an all-expense paid three-day introduction to the humanities in Chicagoland!
The Kaplan Scholars Pre-Orientation is designed to foster student engagement with some of the best cultural programs on offer in the area—and through experiential learning—to begin participating in Kaplan's intellectual conversations and start developing friendships with fellow Kaplan Scholars.
- Program dates: Saturday, September 14 through Monday, September 16, 2024.
- Early Move-In! Pre-Orientation participants move into their university housing three days earlier than the rest of the incoming class! Move-in is scheduled for 8:00am to noon on September 14, and Pre-Orientation programming will begin at noon on that day (Sept. 14).
- The cost of housing, all excursions, and all meals while on the program are covered by the Kaplan Humanities Institute.
- Enrollment: Students accepted into the Kaplan Scholars Program will be invited to participate in Pre-Orientation after they are accepted. Participation in Pre-Orientation is completely optional, though once a Scholar commits to it, we consider it a binding agreement to participate in all activities from September 14 to 16.
