Transition Week, commonly referred to as T-Week, is the time frame between Move-in and the start of Fall classes. T-Week is for freshmen students on the Stephenville campus! This year, it will take place <strong>August 16-18th<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I&#8217;m Moved In, Now What? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transition Week starts at move-in. Get your new place set up just how you like it and take all the pictures! This is a great time to give whoever helped you move in a big hug and take as many pictures together as they request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On\u00a0<strong>August 16th<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0<strong>7:30 PM<\/strong>, after move-in is complete, you&#8217;ll attend your first hall meeting with your RL (Residential Leader) to receive your full T-Week guide in-hand and meet your group leaders for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During T-Week, you&#8217;ll get to know campus better and participate in activities and events designed to ease you into life at Tarleton. This will also be a great chance to connect with other students in your hall and make a few friends before the school year officially starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will I Eat During T-Week? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your official Fall Meal Plan doesn\u2019t start until Tuesday, <strong>August<\/strong> 18th, but T-week has meals covered for you in the meantime! Your Texan card will be activated so you can swipe yourself into the Dining Hall for meals, beginning the evening of <strong>your<\/strong> assigned move-in date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the night of your move-in, dinner is served in the Dining Hall from 5 PM-7 PM. After that, Brunch (11 AM-2 PM) and Dinner (5 PM-7 PM) are available to you for the remainder of Move-In Weekend! Additional T-Week meal times will be shared at your first group meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soak It Up!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a great opportunity to ask all of the questions and explore the campus before school starts. Familiarize yourself with the campus buildings, check your class schedule, and make sure you know where you&#8217;re going on the first day of classes! If you don&#8217;t know, ask someone! Tarleton State is such a friendly campus, and everyone here wants to make sure you feel at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I highly encourage you to make the most out of your T-Week by attending all the activities, putting yourself out there, and making new friends. Not only will this help set you up for the school year, but it will also create memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-border-color has-tarleton-lilac-border-color has-texan-white-color has-tarleton-light-purple-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-8c03720b67f06a9a7371e5426fca327e\" style=\"border-width:3px;border-top-left-radius:13px;border-top-right-radius:13px;border-bottom-left-radius:13px;border-bottom-right-radius:13px;margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will I receive my Transition Week Guide\/Schedule?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residential students receive their Transition Week Guide during their first residence hall meeting after move-in.
