Students are generally expected to be at Rise Monday through Thursday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Students are not required to be at Rise on Fridays; we strongly encourage students to use Fridays away from Rise to work on the graded written components of the seminar course.
- The three-week orientation session is mandatory. It begins Monday, May 6, 2024 and runs Monday to Friday. After orientation, students will attend three-hour seminars generally scheduled to take place on Thursday afternoons. The seminars will be held at Rise. Other required activities may also be scheduled during the term.
