Days on the Lawn Registration is Open!

Admitted students (both EA and RD) can register for Days on the Lawn now. Those who were admitted during Regular Decision should check their email for a message from us containing a link to the registration.



1.      Click the link, log in, then click “My Events” in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
2.      Scroll down to “Group Invitations” and click “Days on the Lawn.”
3.      Click "Register" to the right of your preferred Day on the Lawn.
4.      Complete the registration form and click “Register” to submit your responses.



FYI, the early dates usually get filled immediately, so expect large crowds if you come on the first few days.

Hundreds of students sign up to meet you. They've been coming to Peabody Hall all week to pick their assignments.


If you see anyone wearing an orange shirt, feel free to ask them anything. They're there to help!


By the way, Days on the Lawn are totally optional events.  We created DOTL to help students "kick the tires" before they commit to the University. You'll be walking around the Grounds just like our current students do. Dress as you do for school (unless, of course, you wear a uniform to school).  We want you to be comfortable.

I'm more than happy to answer questions about directions, parking, and lodging if the DOTL page doesn't cover your concerns.
