Arrival and Check-In
Students attending the ATSU-Truman Healthcare Academy will check-in at West Campus Suites (residence hall) located on the Truman State University campus on Sunday of the scheduled week. Detailed information will be provided in the arrival materials emailed to the student after officially being admitted. Typically, the scheduled arrival time will be after 3 p.m. but before 5 p.m.
Students and parents will enter through the main lobby on the south side of West Campus Suites to check-in, but we ask that you leave your luggage in your car until you have completed the registration process (approximately 5-10 minutes).
When you first enter to register, if you have any questions, ask anyone wearing a ATSU-Truman Healthcare Academy t-shirt for help.
We will work to facilitate your check-in as quickly as possible, this will include things such as:
- Room Assignment and key
- Meal Card and confirmation of any allergies
- Medical:
Here you will turn in all medication to the Healthcare Director. Exceptions will be made for students who have asthma inhalers, insulin, EpiPens, and topical medications. - Forms: Submission of any forms that potentially are relevant to the specific academy year.
Once these things have been taken care of, you are now ready to get your luggage and move into your room.
