Pre-Fall Programs
SHU Giving Day is here!
The SHU community is coming together now through noon Thursday. Be a part of the impact and support what you love most. One Day. One Heart. One Community.
Pre-Fall Programs allow you to get an early start on making connections with the Sacred Heart community and classmates who share your interests!
During this active and fun-filled week, upper-level student-leaders in each program will help as you make new friends, get to know SHU administrators and faculty outside the classroom, meet staff and learn more about SHU before the semester begins!
Pre-fall participants arrive on campus early and ease into their first year at Sacred Heart. Whatever your interests, Sacred Heart offers a program that is right for you. From healthy living strategies to service immersion, major exploration and student success, you can explore some of the exciting aspects of Sacred Heart and our surrounding communities.
Pre-fall move-in will take place on Saturday, August 15, and your pre-fall week will conclude on Thursday, August 20, right before Welcome Weekend.
We challenge you to take this opportunity to meet new people and acquire new skills!

Sacred Heart University's pre-fall program was an unforgettable experience that kicked off my freshman year. I loved getting extra time on campus before classes started, but my favorite memories were made in the studios, where I spent time with amazing choreographers, teachers and friends. Not only did pre-fall bring me closer to the dance community at Sacred Heart, but it also gave me the confidence to start my first semester of college.
