Plan to attend this on-campus, in-person, full-day event (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) over the summer. By the end of the day, you’ll have your fall course schedule (meeting 1:1 with an advisor to select and review your classes) and lots of new CONNECTIONS! You’ll meet classmates, Captains, and members of our community who are excited to see you thrive at RMC!
Your family is also invited to join you on this day and attend optional programming that will run concurrently with your events! You can RSVP using the ‘Yellow Jacket Orientation & Pre-Advising Form’ located on MyMaconWeb under New Student Forms.
PLEASE NOTE: These dates are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students can indicate a need for an alternate registration appointment if they have a conflict with available dates on the RSVP form.
You’ll be busy from Thursday, September 3 to Sunday, September 6 for New Student Orientation and Welcome Week Kick-Off! All new students (first-year, transfer, commuting, residential, and international) are expected to participate. This will be an incredible opportunity to set yourself up for success, make lasting memories, and start your RMC journey with confidence.
New Student Orientation schedules will be available in early August 2026.
PLEASE NOTE: Fall Athletes and International Students move in prior to Thursday, September 3 and should follow the directions provided by the coaches or the Office of International Education.
Before you dive into your New Student Forms, we recommend that you bookmark MyMaconWeb (MMW). You’ll log in to MMW with your RMC username and permanent password. This platform houses a lot of useful, personalized information. For now, you can focus on your New Student Forms. When you enter MMW, click ‘Student’ at the top of the page, and drop down to ‘New Students’ – this landing page tracks the submission of your New Student Forms.
These forms work together as part of our orientation and advising process for new students. You’ll register for events and share your interests and goals so we can get to know you better!

Already registered for your New Student Registration Day? Head to this webpage for our must-know information, including how to prepare for class registration.
All students living on campus (Residence Housing) or off campus (Commuter) must apply for housing. Randolph-Macon College students are required to live on campus all four years, so housing is guaranteed; we just call it an application process! You will also be able to create your housing profile and engage with other new students through this process!
All students must complete this form to acknowledge that accommodations are available at Randolph-Macon, and to learn how to request accommodations for physical, psychological, or learning differences or disabilities.
This form educates students on the availability of accommodations and the accommodations registration process. It is not the starting point, or a substitution for registering with Accessibility Resources. To facilitate a smooth transition between high school and college, students are encouraged to contact Accessibility Resources as soon as possible and before June 1. This will allow ample time to discuss accommodations and plan for a smooth transition.
This multi-section form includes personal and parent information verification, emergency and missing contact information, tax dependency status, 1098-T tuition statement information and financial responsibilities.
Access the student health portal to fill out three electronic forms AND upload your provider signed Immunization Record to complete your Health History Record. This is required of all new students. Student Athletes, recruited to play a varsity sport, must complete these steps AND complete the New Athlete Pre-Participation Packet (the 2025-2026 packet opens May 1, 2026).
Register the vehicle you will have on campus or request a vehicle waiver.
We’ve shared items that you can begin working on now or schedule to take care of later this summer. Read up, and then check back – we’ll continue to update this list!
Your RMC Email Account will be your main point of contact with your professors, advisors, and college officials. Be sure to check your email frequently so you can stay up-to-date with what’s happening on campus!
Student bills will be available in late June. You can view your bill on MyMaconWeb by clicking on the ‘Finances’ tab.
All final transcripts (high school, dual enrollment, college) and test scores (AP/IB) are due BEFORE you arrive in August. Be sure they are sent by your high school and/or colleges!
Visit MyMaconWeb and click on ‘Get Connected’ – find your device and follow the steps to onboard your device! After you’ve done that, download and install your free Office 365 subscription. This is also available on the ‘Get Connected’ page of O365!
All members of the campus community should enroll themselves in emergency alerts. These alerts are sent via text message in the event of dangerous weather, fire, or other threats to campus. Families of Yellow Jackets can also enroll.
All rooms are equipped with furniture, blinds, and include internet, phone, and cable access. You should bring all you need for comfort and day-to-day living. Residence Life has a helpful list of essentials that will help transform your room into your home away from home.
Once you have your housing assignment, you can learn more about your residence hall (including room specs and blueprints) by visiting our housing options page.
After you register for classes, visit the Campus Store website to find and purchase your textbooks! For many texts, there are affordable rental and used book options available to students!
Also make sure to register for the Yellow Jacket Loyalty Program with the Campus Store! When you create an account, you will be able to shop on the website, place online orders, and receive points on all purchases (both in-store and online)!
If you plan to work on campus, you MUST have original documents that show your identity and authorization to work. Copies WILL NOT be accepted.
The Office of New Student Orientation & Transition Programs is here to help! Please contact orientation@rmc.edu or (804) 752-3152 if you have any questions!
