Welcome New Students

Dear Incoming Students:

I am thrilled to hear of your intention to enroll at Pepperdine University. Our entire campus community is looking forward to welcoming you in Malibu this coming semester. As you prepare to take this next step in your educational and personal journey, please know that the administrators, faculty, and staff at Seaver College are honored to walk alongside you throughout the coming transition. In the process, we aspire to provide a firm foundation from which you can dive into this new and exciting adventure—one that we hope bolsters your intellectual, spiritual, and personal growth, both inside and outside the classroom.

Let’s get started!

Most immediately, we are excited to meet you at New Student Orientation (NSO). In order to prepare for this event, please review the NSO checklist and every piece of information contained on this site carefully, paying close attention to the information that requires a response.

Beyond fulfilling this checklist, we also ask that you begin actively using your new Pepperdine email address. This email account will now serve as the main link of communication between you and the University. As a result, you will be responsible for information sent to your email address, so please begin checking it regularly.

In closing, let me reiterate how delighted we are to hear of your intention to enroll. We are so happy to play a role in your story.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lee B. Kats, Interim Dean of Seaver College
