Vikings in Progress (VIP)
Vikings In Progress (VIP) is North Park’s optional summer pre-orientation day for incoming students and their families. The VIP experience will help new students make a successful transition to North Park. In addition to programs for new students, information specifically for parents and families will be provided. Take a look at the VIP schedule for more details.
The cost for VIP Day is $10 per person, which includes lunch. The cost for the overnight program is $40 per student in addition to the $10 fee for the VIP Day program. The overnight option is available only for students and includes dinner, evening activity and transportation, linens, and breakfast on Saturday morning.
VIP is open to all incoming undergraduate students. Students are encouraged to bring parents, family members, or guests — their support is crucial to college success. Students must be registered for their fall classes in order to attend VIP.
