This summer Send-off Parties are being held throughout the country. We are delighted to invite our incoming parents, your child, and other family members to join us at a party nearest you. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents of new students from your area. Click here to look for the location closest to you and to register.

If you have questions about a Send-off Party or would like to host one in your area, please e-mail or call Kim Barkis at (310) 506-6110.

Pepperdine University has added three new members to its Board of Regents, the governing board of the University. The new regents, Bill Ahmanson, John Lewis (’83), and Dee Anna Smith (’86), will help shape the direction of the University. In addition, two current regents, Jerry Cox and Terry Giles, (JD '74), have been given Life Regent status. 

To learn more about the Board of Regents, click here.

In general, unless your child gives you access to her/his academic and/or financial records, Pepperdine will not be able to share any related information with you. Academic records include registration, schedule, and grades. The student account is a detailed record of all costs of attendance, miscellaneous charges and related financial assistance. Students and others to whom they grant access, will be able to view, pay, and update student account information online, through WaveNet’s Student Center.

Some of the features of our student account/records system include no paper billing, online payments - especially that first one, and direct deposit.
Please ask your child to grant you guest access to her/his account! This is the only way that you will be able to access your child's information including account balance, payments, refunds, financial assistance, and/or grades. Your child may designate you as a guest user and will determine your level of access. We encourage you to speak directly to your child about this service.

For more information please contact the Office of Student Information and Services (also known as "One Stop") at 310-506-7999.

PARENTS...Please note that your student has been sent an email from the Student Activities Office regarding unaffiliated social media groups.  Please be sure to read the below and communicate with your son or daughter about the importance of correct information:

"Hello new students:
 
Obtaining accurate information over the summer months about your transition to Seaver College is very important. We have provided great resources to help answer your questions. However, due to the nature of social media, it is very easy for those unaffiliated with the University to set up communication channels and groups merely for marketing purposes and share inaccurate information. 
 
Below are two official channels that the University has created to assist you as you make your transition. 
 
1.  A very important site is the new student page that contains the checklist of action items that need to be taken care of before you arrive on campus. Contact information is listed on the right column of the checklist:  http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/newstudents/
 
2. The official New Student Orientation Facebook page is:  https://www.facebook.com/PepperdineNSO. On this page you can interact with current Seaver upper class students who are going to be your Orientation Leaders when you arrive on campus. These are students who have been successful in academics, and also have had a wide variety of experiences such as Greek life, Student Government, traveling overseas, holding an on campus job, being involved with volunteer service, etc. We will also publish official information about New Student Orientation on this page. 
 
Please be aware that the “Pepperdine University Class of 2018” group found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/437281839722967/ and any events on the page are NOT managed or supported by Pepperdine in any way. Also, there may be other channels and groups that we are not currently aware of.  If you have questions about Pepperdine or your transition, please contact us on the official channels we’ve included in this email.

We are looking forward to your arrival on campus this summer!

Student Activities Staff"

NSO is a program intentionally designed for incoming students and their parents. The program will include information on academics, student activities, student services, living on campus, international programs, and much more.

Most first-year parents attend NSO, which starts on Tuesday, August 19 and ends Thursday, August 21 at 3 p.m. The registration fee for parents and other family members is $125 per person. For more information about NSO click here.
 
If you have not yet been registered on WaveNet by your son or daughter, register now by going to http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/nso/about/registrationform.htm and scrolling to the bottom of the page to the section “Changing NSO Registration Info.” For questions about NSO, please e-mail NSO@pepperdine.edu or call (310) 506-4201.

This exhibition features original art covering the full range of his career—from the famous posters he designed for movies such as "My Fair Lady," "Camelot," and "Apocalypse Now" to his work for a variety of national clients, including Time magazine, TV Guide, and Sports Illustrated.
