New Student Orientation Frequently Asked Questions

The New Student Orientation (NSO) Office is located in the Henderson Student Center, and that office will provide the primary information regarding New Student Orientation to students who have confirmed their attendance to Clark Atlanta University. The NSO office may be reached at 404-880-8428 or orientation@cau.edu.

SO is a tradition at CAU. It is designed to provide important information related to academic expectations and campus resources (e.g., financial aid, student accounts, on-campus living, student health, and other related information.) The major outcome of orientation is for all students to finalize steps to become financially enrolled by completing the enrollment process, which is inclusive of creating a fall schedule, financial aid packaging, and payment arrangements.

Once the confirmation fee is paid, new students will receive an email detailing the dates and times of the NSO sessions, as well, will provide links for students to sign up via the Eventbrite registration site. The CAU website, under the Student Affairs tab, will also provide orientation information and important forms.

Maintaining a safe campus environment is an important value and practice of CAU. One manner of safety is the security of a student’s social security number. Each student is given a “900” number as a personal identifier in lieu of using the social security number.

The non-refundable confirmation fee of $475 is made payable to Clark Atlanta University and must be mailed to the Office of Undergraduate Recruitment and Admissions, 223 James P. Brawley Drive, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30314. A cashier’s check or money order is the only form of payment via mail; however, a credit or debit card payment is arranged through the Office of Student Accounts, 404.880.8033, or can be paid online via the student’s BANNERWEB account.

NSO sessions are covered with the payment of your non-refundable confirmation fee of $475.

Although New Student Orientation is highly recommended, it is not mandatory. However, we ask that you complete all of your financial requirements, and become financially enrolled before the official move-in date.

Contact the Orientation Office at 404.880.8428 or orientation@cau.edu. You can also change your date on the Eventbrite website.

While family members are welcome to visit the campus during orientation, most activities are centered on students. Parent/guardians are welcome to participate and would likely be pivotal during the financial aid process and billing.

The CAU Experience is 5 days of exciting activities and workshops designed to welcome students to their new home away from home, and will offer students a historical perspective of Clark Atlanta University. New students will also participate in a formal induction ceremony, which is a rite of passage to becoming an official Clark Atlanta University student.

CAU Experience starts after the official move-in date, and lasts until the day prior to the first day of school.

There are a few sessions available for parents at the beginning of CAU Experience, and that information will be communicated to the students and parents prior to move-in day.

As with the New Student Orientation sessions, parents are welcome to stay, but most activities are centered on students.

An internship is an extension of your college learning experience. It occurs in the actual workplace where you are provided a “hands on” learning opportunity as your employer trains you in a real work atmosphere. Even though many internships do not offer salaries, the benefits of such participation are incalculable and will last you a lifetime. This type of experience is an excellent way to begin your chosen career path and to explore employment tracks that you may be considering. It also provides opportunities to put to practical use what you are learning in the classroom. Internships are unique opportunities to “test the waters.” Students may receive academic credit pending approval from their academic major department.

Handshake also serves as a database that allows employers to post job and internship listings directly to our site. All students must register in order to gain access to this database as well as to the services available through the Center. Further assistance with job search strategies and resources should be discussed with your respective career counselor or by enrolling in our workshop on Job Search Strategies. More assistance with internships may be provided by our in-house Internship Coordinator.

The benefits of an internship include, but are not limited to the following:                                                                                                                     

  • gaining experience relevant to your career goals
  • helping you decide on a particular career path
  • providing employment experience that can be put on your resume and cover letters

The office serves as a starting point for students seeking counseling, guidance or assistance with disability concerns. Please contact the office at (404) 880-8044.

Disability Services provides reasonable accommodations that may be necessary in order for students with documented disabilities to have equal access to educational opportunities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended in 2008 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Registration Process

The registration process plays a significant role in the daily operations of the Office of Counseling and Disability services. It allows the office to track student engagement in the program and to provide appropriate and reasonable accommodations and services to students with documented disabilities. Most students register with the Office of Counseling and Disability Services after being referred by faculty, staff, rehabilitation counselor, school counselor, licensed clinician, and/or another student who is receiving services. The registration process is expedited when a student self-discloses he/she has a disability, makes a request for accommodations and/or services provided by the office.

Documentation Guidelines
Documentation serves as a foundation that legitimizes a student’s request for appropriate accommodations. Documentation must include very specific information regarding the individual’s actual current functional limitations. The Office of Counseling and Disability Services does not base eligibility on what could/might occur or often occurs with those who have been given this diagnosis. Documentation should be current (not exceeding 3 years) and answer the following questions:

Does the individual have a physical or mental impairment? 
Documentation must be current and include a mental or physical diagnosis made by a qualified licensed professional. Sometimes students may be asked to provide updated comprehensive information if their condition is potentially changeable and/or previous documentation does not include sufficient information. 

Does the impairment affect a major life activity? 
Legal eligibility requires that the physical or mental impairment substantially affects a major life activity. A major life activity is a basic function of life. Disability laws list the major life activities as breathing, caring for self, hearing, learning, performing manual tasks, seeing, speaking, walking, working or other activities that are a basic function of life. Documentation must clearly identify which major life activities are affected by the impairment. If an impairment interferes with certain functions that are not major life activities, although the individual is restricted, the individual is not eligible under disability laws. 

Does the impairment substantially limit the individual’s life? 
Documentation must state what specific activities that individual is unable to perform or is significantly restricted in performing when compared with an average person in the general population. Documentation must state the nature and severity of the impairment, the duration or expected duration of the impairment, and the permanence or expected long-term impact.

Below are lists of services in which the Office of Counseling and Disability Services provides but are not limited to:

  • Testing Accommodations
  • Classroom Accommodations
  • Student Success Workshops
  • Personal Counseling

Notes: Accommodations are not retroactive. Therefore, accommodations begin upon the Office of Counseling and Disability Services receiving all required documentation from the student to determine eligibility.

The Office of Counseling and Disability Services does not provide comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations which include but are not limited to assessment of cognitive, academic achievement, and information processing for the diagnosis of learning disabilities.

An Individual Education Plan-IEP and/or 504 from a P-12 secondary school district does not meet the specific documentation requirements for eligibility for disability services/accommodations.

Students have the right to choose if and when to reveal their disability. If they do not reveal, then faculty should respect their privacy and not ask them directly. Faculty can say something like, “I see you are really struggling in my class.” “Is there something I can do to help?”  Then if the student says, “I am really having trouble reading.” I just can’t seem to get the information.” The faculty can refer the student to a number of support services and include the Office of Counseling and Disability Services in that list of places. 

Student Responsibilities

  • Identify themselves to the Office of Counseling and Disability Services
  • Provide proper documentation of disability.
  • Assume personal responsibility for meeting with faculty, as well as requesting assistance through supplemental services such as the Office of Counseling and Disability Services in meeting college standards.
  • Provide for his/her personal independent living needs or other personal disability-related needs.

Clark Atlanta University seeks to ensure that people with disabilities are given full access to and participation in all aspects of college life by removal of both physical and attitudinal barriers. Clark Atlanta University is an institution of higher education that welcomes and supports a diverse student body. By embracing our core values of Diversity and Inclusion,   Innovation and Collaboration, Accountability and Integrity, Ethical Behavior, and Social Responsibility, and Student-Centeredness we hope to create a learning environment that encourages as well as challenges students.  

The Office of Counseling and Disability Services (OCADS) is the designated office which maintains disability related documents, determines eligibility for reasonable accommodations, and develops plans for the provision of such accommodations at Clark Atlanta University. The Office of Counseling and Disability Services provides students and faculty with assistance and information for meeting the requirements of the law, and integrating students with disabilities into Clark Atlanta University. The office serves as an advocate for students with documented disabilities, ensuring they have the physical and programmatic access to all university programs.    

Syllabus Statement

Clark Atlanta University is committed to providing students with a documented disability an equal opportunity to pursue a college education. Efforts will be made to meet requests for reasonable accommodations for those eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 2008, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Section 504. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Office of Counseling and Disability Services at (404-880-8044) located on the 3rd floor of Trevor Arnett Hall to discuss accommodations. Once reasonable accommodations are determined, it is the student’s responsibility to present the Letter of Accommodation from The Office of Counseling and Disability Services to their professors.

Recording Lectures 

The Office of Counseling and Disability Services, may recommend for a student with a documented qualifying disability be permitted to record lectures as a form of an academic accommodation. Students with documented disabilities who are unable to take or read notes have the right to record class lectures for their personal study only.** Lectures recorded for this purpose may not be shared with other people without the consent of the faculty. Recorded lectures may not be used in any way against the faculty member, other lecturers, or students whose classroom comments are recorded as part of the class activity. Information contained in the recorded lecture is protected under federal copyright laws and may not be published or quoted without the express consent of the faculty member and without giving proper identity and credit to the faculty person.

Office of Residence Life

Applying For Housing

Your first step to getting started is to apply for on-campus housing. We offer a variety of on-campus housing options. For a full descriptions of each Hall, please check out Housing Options. Applications are accepted online during registration only.

Residence Housing Portal
2023-2024 Upperclassmen Housing
Exemption Procedure

As there may be compelling individual circumstances that would warrant residing off campus, exceptions to this requirement are handled on a case-by-case basis. Individuals seeking an exception to the policy must complete an Exemption Form and submit the appropriate documents to the Residence Life office.

Housing Requirement:

To assist Clark Atlanta University students in establishing a strong post-secondary educational foundation and charting a path of future academic success, we believe that all students with fewer than 58 earned credit hours should live on campus when on-campus student housing is available. Therefore, subject to on-campus housing availability, students enrolled in or accepted to Clark Atlanta University will be required to reside on the campus until they have earned 58 or more credit hours. Because on-campus student housing for new students is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, status as a student with less than 58 earned credit hours does not guarantee a space in campus housing.

For first-time freshmen women, on-campus residency is defined as residing in Holmes Hall, Merner Hall, Pfeiffer Hall, and CAU Suites. For first-time freshmen men, on-campus residency is defined as residing in Beckwith Hall. 

For students that are not first-time freshmen, but have acquired fewer than 58 earned credit hours, on-campus residency is defined as residing in any of the halls listed above, as well as Brawley Hall or Heritage Commons. On-campus residency for graduate students is defined as residing in Beckwith Village.

Meal Plan Requirement:

All undergraduate and residential graduate students enrolled at Clark Atlanta University will be required to have a University meal plan. The meal plan will be charged to the student’s banner account based on the criteria listed below:

Screen-Shot-2022-01-23-at-2.36.27-PM.png

**These meal plans will automatically be placed on the student’s account.

All meal plan change requests must be submitted to the Office of Residence Life, CAU Suites 100 Building, or via email to residencelife@cau.edu before the first Monday of August for the Fall semester and before the first Monday of January for the spring semester. There are no meal plan cancellations, credits, or refunds issued after a semester and/or year has ended based on non-usage.

If there is a classification change in the Spring term, meal plan changes will be considered upon request by the student; otherwise, the Fall plan will roll to the Spring term. The request must be submitted to Residence Life by indicated deadline.

(Housing and Meal Plan Requirement Effective Date was Fall 2016)

Exemptions From the On-Campus Requirement

As there may be compelling individual circumstances that would warrant residing off-campus, exemptions from this requirement may be considered.  At times, the University may decide to unilaterally waive the requirement for one or more students under limited circumstances.  However, if a student desires to request an exemption from the on-campus requirement, the student must complete an Exemption Form and submit the appropriate documents to the Residence Life office.

When a student requests an exemption from the on-campus housing requirement, the request may be granted with appropriate documentation under the following circumstances:

  • The student is experiencing medical conditions which require special attention or is the caregiver of someone experiencing medical conditions which require special attention
  • Students with children, married students, and students involved in a domestic partnership
  • Non-traditional students age 24+ by August 1 (applies to housing requests only)
  • The student lives in the metro Atlanta area (applies to housing requests only)
  • Extenuating circumstances (to be evaluated by the University on a case-by-case basis)

Deadline

Exemption Form and supporting information must be received in the Residence Life Office before August 1 for fall deadline and December 15 for the spring deadline.

Exemption Procedure

Residence Life must receive the Exemption Form with all supporting documentation on or before the deadline to avoid delays. This information will be reviewed by a committee and the student will be emailed the final decision.  Please note that if you are approved it will only release you from being required to live on campus. You may still be required to maintain the mandatory meal plan.  Read the Housing Contract carefully to understand the penalties for breaching the contract and any fees associated with breaking this agreement. If a student is denied an exemption, they will be given information on the appeal process.

Sanctions

Failure to comply with the requirements or providing false or misleading information to the Office of Housing and Residence Life in order to receive an exemption from the on-campus housing requirement may result in cancellation of registration privileges and/or revocation of acceptance to Clark Atlanta University.

*Research by Alexander Astin, Gregory Blemling, Ernest Pascarella, Patrick Terenzini, Paula Wilcox, Sandra Winn, Marylynn Fyvie-Gauld, and Vincent Tinto has discussed this in their student development and retention writings.

  • Transportation. If you don’t have a car, choose a neighborhood that is close to bus lines or within walking distance.
  • Leases are generally for one year. It can be convenient if you decide to go home for the summer yet still want someplace to put your belongings. However, you might not want to pay for the rent for the whole year if you are not staying for the summer. In this case, you might think about subletting your place while you are away. Note: not all landlords allow their tenants to sublet their apartments/houses, so take this into account when signing contacts.
  • Security Deposits. Most rentals require a deposit-usually the equivalent of one month’s rent. At the end of your lease, you will get this deposit back, less any fees for damages.
  • Rent. Check out Rental Market Trends in Atlanta. Most students will rent a multi-unit house (3 bedrooms, for example, and split the rent evenly). Utilities such as Cable TV, Internet, Electric, Heat, and Hot water typically cost extra and will be split evenly amongst the inhabitants.
  • Background Checks. Some rental applications might require a background check.
  • Renters’ Insurance. The landlord’s property insurance policy usually does not cover your personal possessions inside your apartment, so you might need to consider purchasing renters’ insurance to cover your personal belongings. The renter’s insurance is usually inexpensive, ranging from $10-$20 per month. Getting a quote online from different insurance companies is a fairly quick process for choosing renters’ insurance.
  • Issues/Concerns. Notify your landlord or leasing office in writing of any existing problems or damages when you move in. Upon moving in always take pictures of the condition of the apartment/ house. Documenting the condition of the residence upon move-in is always a good idea in case the landlord attempts to withhold your security deposit due to previous damage.
  • Repairs. If damage to the property occurs during the rental period, it is the landlord’s responsibility to fix/ repair the damage.
  • Roommates/Housemates. Be mindful when selecting your roommates/housemates. Choose roommates who will fulfill their share of obligations for the rent. Discuss and establish a mutual agreement about things like quiet hours, guest policy, grocery share/or not, cleaning responsibilities, etc.
  • Plan Ahead and Start Early. Some apartments fill up quickly when the school start date is approaching, you might want to look for rentals early.
  • Talk to other students who are currently living off campus. You may not be familiar with the local area, so talk to peers who might know the area better to find out about their neighborhoods and their experiences.

Are you a current or incoming Clark Atlanta University Student looking for off-campus housing? To be exempt from on-campus housing, students with fewer than 58 earned credit hours must meet the eligibility requirements. Please note: Clark Atlanta University does not guarantee on-campus housing for upperclassmen (students with more than 57 earned credit hours) or graduate students, however, below are some resources that will be helpful in your search.

Partnership with College Pads

Clark Atlanta University has partnered with College Pads, the off-campus housing marketplace, which will provide a resource for current and future Clark Atlanta students as they transition off-campus. This service will help students compare off-campus housing options, find roommates, sublet their existing units, and review landlords, all through a user-friendly online experience.
