Welcome

Welcome and congratulations on your admission to College Living Experience!

We are thrilled to be working with you and want to help you walk through this transition. Prior to starting CLE, this is your hub for key dates and materials you will need for a successful transition.   We know how important your young adult’s transition is and how deeply invested you are in their well-being. Our goal is to walk you through all the steps needed to make your arrival as seamless as possible.

Below you will see a list of our orientation materials that we have broken down into manageable steps. As the start date gets closer, you will need to make sure all items are reviewed and submitted.  Documents that we need prior to your arrival are noted as “Mail To CLE.”

Other documents are for your reference and essential to read.  They cover everything from the annual calendar, how to enroll in classes (for those attending college), guidelines on apartment leases, and setting up your accounts and banking information.

In addition, parent orientation webinars are required and listed on this page. We work to keep these brief, but they are critical and will have key reminders to help you get set up for the start of student orientation.

We look forward to welcoming you and your young adult to our community. If you have any questions, please reach out.
