(Important) When does school start for FPF (fall extension) kids?

i know the mandatory orientation for fpf kids is august 20, but does school start right after this orientation?

like do we actually settle into the dorms, go to orientation on august 20, and then begin school immediately afterwards?

i have seriously looked everywhere for a date when school starts for FPF kids and i can't find anything.

if anyone could provide me with a date and also explain how orientation/moving into dorms ties into the start of school, i'd be so, so grateful.

thanks!

hey! my brother went through this two years ago, so, assuming it is the same, i know a little bit about it. First of all, i'm guessing you were admitted for spring semester. If this is the case, then you should start FPF the same time regular students start. As a freshman, you move into dorms the week before school starts, and then go through different activities that week to get you oriented with the school. I would also think that a simple phone call to the administration building would get you the answers you need about starting dates. Did you even try that?
