2012 Deposited Student Guidebook
Each winter, the Luther College Admissions Office produces the Deposited Student Guidebook, which has proven to be a valuable resource for incoming first-year students. The guidebook is divided into 10 sections, with information about registration and orientation, residence life, dining services, local cell phone providers, etc.
We have discovered over the years that this guidebook can be as useful to accepted students still making their college decision as it is to those who have already decided to attend Luther. We have also learned this information can be extremely valuable to parents, so make sure to share it.
Please note: International students will be receiving their own pre-arrival guide later this spring or summer. If you are an international student, please feel free to read the information covered in the Deposited Student Guidebook, but be aware that some of the information will not apply to you.
