In our efforts to provide support for our students' transition to campus each August, we believe clear and comprehensive communication is essential. Beginning each May, students will begin to receive email communications to their Lehigh email addresses containing helpful checklists, resources and timelines. Below is a log of all those emails that have been sent so students and their families can stay up to date on the latest official communications to reference if needed. 

Summer 2025 Communication

Welcome Class of 2029!

The Office of First-Year Experience (OFYE) is excited to support your transition. Be on the lookout for email communications to help you prepare for your arrival in August and your first year. We're here to answer your questions and help you make the most of your Lehigh experience.

Key Information & Action Items:

  • Lehigh Student Portal (Access Tuesday, May 13): Your central hub for information, including the Summer Checklist. This checklist contains required forms, important information, and deadlines. There is no set time the portal will go live, but will be announced via email when available.
