FAQs

• What is Navigate OCC?
  Navigate OCC is a one-day event for students to navigate the campus, meet fellow students, chat with faculty, learn how to get involved, and take care of any last-minute business before the first-week rush.

• How do I sign up?

  The event sign-up is closed, but you can show up and check-in. 

• What do I bring?

  The entirety of the event takes place outside. As it is still summertime and there will be lots of walking involved, we recommend sunscreen, hats, and comfortable shoes. We will also have water stations located throughout, so bring your reusable water bottle if you have one!

  Additionally, we encourage you to either print out or screenshot your fall schedule so that you can identify which buildings your classes are in while on the campus tour.

  Parking for the event will be free and will be located in Parking Lot C, located on the corner of Fairview Road and Merrimac Way. The entrance to the parking lot is Arlington Drive.

  Check-in tables for the event will be located by the flagpole in the middle of the campus quad.
