required to attend an EIU Debut program. Debut is designed to provide
orientation to campus and allow new students to meet with an academic
advisor and register for courses. Freshman students will be mailed an
invitation to EIU Debut. The invitation will contain a program reservation
form. Students will need to return the reservation form to secure a program
date.
Incoming Freshman must take "AlcoholEdu for College"
between August 1-24 and pass a course exam. Information is available at
Alcoholedu.
