The Office of Enrollment Services will communicate with your student over the next few months regarding their final transcript and college credit (from college courses, AP/IB, etc). Have your student check to make sure we have the correct email address for them now and throughout June and July. This is especially important if they have an email provided by their high school that will expire when they graduate.

Your student's Emory email account is part of Office 365, a cloud-based communication system provided to all students. It includes web-based email with 5TB file storage, personal and shared calendars, and much more. Office 365 email can be set up on mobile devices using these instructions.

If your student is considering a gap year, have them review the policy and then submit the deferral request form here. Requests are reviewed by the Director of Admission, and students can expect a response in 7-10 business days.

Typically, gap years are approved for one year, and enrollment is expected in fall 2026. Occasionally two-year gap years are approved for military or religious commitments. 

The cost to register a vehicle is $125.00 per semester. The parking permit fee will be billed to 's student account as part of the pre-term registration bill. If your student plans to keep their vehicle on campus for both the fall and the spring semesters, they should register for both the fall and spring semesters when registering. Student parking permits will be available for pick up during New Student Orientation.

Registration does not automatically mean your student is approved for a permit. Vehicles on campus that are not approved will be subject to parking violations and could result in the vehicle being towed off campus at the owner’s expense. Parking permits are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis, so apply as soon as possible.

If for any reason, your student determines that they no longer need a parking permit or have any questions please call 404.991.1781 or email oxford.transportation@emory.edu. Learn more about parking permits here.

NSO is designed to welcome students to the Oxford community and make their transition to campus as smooth as possible. They'll get the chance to experience traditions like the Oxford Olympics, and have opportunities to meet faculty, staff and students, with the guidance of a sophomore Orientation Leader.

Students should get ready to meet new friends, try new things, and have some fun!

Students are able to invite family and supporters to campus to help them move in. We have a special program for guests on August 22 which will conclude just before dinnertime. At that point, we ask family members to depart campus and allow their students to fully engage in the rest of the program.

Questions? Please email leadership@emory.edu.
