What's next?

1. Confirm your place at Conn.

When you make your deposit, you’ll get access to your Conn account and officially become a Camel! Visit your applicant status portal for instructions.

2. Create your Conn account.

After you make your deposit, watch for an email from Camel Account with the subject line “Your Connecticut College Account.” It may take a few days to receive this email, which includes instructions to set up your Conn email account. When you activate your account, you'll have access to CamelWeb—our intranet—which may offer some resources and information you find helpful. Note: You may not get many emails to your Conn account right away, but you will starting in May!

3. Meet your fellow Camels and ask your questions!

Your decision letter includes a link to join the Class of 2030 Community, where you can meet the other members of your class, ask questions of current Camels and get updates from Conn.

5. Starting March 9, read your weekly digest email.

Each Monday we’ll send a single email that summarizes all the things you need to know that week. (We really are trying not to bombard you with emails!)

6. Watch for information in May about The Camel Experience.

The Camel Experience is our online pre-orientation platform for incoming students. It's a super-organized space—complete with a checklist—where you’ll find the forms, training and other tasks to complete before you arrive on campus. It also provides information you'll want on housing, first-year seminars and more. By taking care of these necessities before you arrive, you'll have more time during Welcome Weekend—our in-person orientation—to bond with your fellow 2030 Camels!

7. Check out our pre-orientation programs.

Conn hosts four different in-person pre-orientation programs for new Camels—first-generation, BIPOC, international and those with accessibility requirements—who want to learn about specific resources and opportunities. Read all about the programs we offer.

8.  Plan to attend Welcome Weekend.

This is our in-person, on-campus orientation and it's actually longer than a weekend! For the rocking Class of 2030, it takes place August 26-31, 2026. (Students attending pre-orientation programs and some varsity athletes will arrive in the days before Welcome Weekend.) A detailed schedule will be available in the summer!

9. Read the terms of admission.
