Matriculate | transitive verb: to enroll as a member of a body and especially of a college or university.
Intersection’s Matriculate series is intentionally curated to inform, inspire, and resource incoming students. We will be posting 2-3 times per week on topics ranging from where to live, commuting, orientating to our learning community and process, and more.
The Matriculate Field Guide is a comprehensive guide for incoming students to follow as they matriculate to The Seattle School. It contains all the information pertaining to important dates, class registration, paying for school, and other details to stay aware of as the fall approaches. The Field Guide contains live links that are accessible when viewed digitally, but can downloaded and printed as needed.
