The Pre-College Program has planned a variety of educational and fun programs for students enrolled in noncredit courses. The calendar is best viewed in the "Week" view. Click on each event for details about time, place, and a description. You may also scroll back to see the events and programs offered during previous years.

As detailed in the Conduct Code, residential students are not allowed to leave campus with non-Pre-College personnel during the program unless their parent or guardian has previously spoken with Pre-College staff and completed an Off-Campus Travel Permission Form.  We discourage students from leaving campus to visit friends and relatives during the program.  Students will get the most out of the Emory Pre-College Program when they remain fully engaged with their peers and the activities that we have planned.

If a student has a friend or family member in the Atlanta area that they would like to visit, we encourage them to plan a visit before or after the Pre-College Program.  Alternately, the friend or relative may plan to meet the student for a meal at one of the on-campus dining halls or at one of the many restaurants in Emory Village.  No additional paperwork is required for these on-campus visits.

If a student must leave campus with a family friend or relative, please contact Scott Hackett to ensure that the timing of the planned visit will work with your student's schedule and fill out the off-campus travel permission form.  This form must be submitted by check in date of your session. The Sunday during the middle of the program is a good time for any off-campus visits.  You may email the form and reach Scott Hackett by email.  This form will also be available at the program check-in.

Check- in Dates:

Session A - June 16

Session B - June 30

Session C - July 14
