Three Things - 08.05.26

Dear Sagehens,

There are less than two weeks until Orientation begins and our Fall athletes start arriving next week! We have only two Three Things emails left to send (you can see all of them dating back to May in the archive). And remember the To Do list.

Here are this week’s Three Things:

• Course registration for first year students starts on August 6 at your assigned registration appointment time. (A reminder that you have 24 hours to complete your registration.)
• All Pomona College students are required to have U.S. health insurance before coming to campus. Students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Program (SHIP), a partnership with Aetna. Students who have different insurance coverage can visit the SHIP Waiver portal to receive a waiver. The waiver deadline is September 11, 2026.
• Also a reminder of what you need to complete before you receive your key or Pomona college ID on move-in day:
  • Medical documentation. You were contacted if you are missing items. They need to be submitted AND approved before you move into your room.
  • The sexual assault prevention and alcohol education modules from Catharsis are due August 5th. Emails were sent yesterday to students who did not complete the modules.

Enjoy the rest of your week, and you’ll hear from us one last time next Wednesday. If you have missed any of the previous emails, you can catch up with the Three Things archive.

Respectfully,

Josh Eisenberg, dean of campus life

Heidi Schumacher, associate dean of the college for student success
