We are excited to have you start your college journey with us at Roosevelt University! Ready, Set, Roosevelt is your way to stay connected and prepared as you transition to life at Roosevelt University. This program will help you stay engaged throughout the spring and summer, offering the resources and support you need to tackle any challenges before you arrive on campus.

With a structured plan in place, Ready, Set, Roosevelt helps ensure you're ready to succeed and prevent any hurdles that could delay your start. The program is mainly online, with opportunities to join in-person campus events as well.
