Signing up for Undergraduate Orientation

WHY ORIENTATION?

WSU requires Undergraduate Orientation for incoming, degree-seeking freshmen, transfer students and returning or transferring adult learners.

Undergraduate Orientation is an important piece to your transition as a new student at Shocker Nation and is directly connected to your success! First-Year Programs partners with academic colleges and campus resources from across the university to ensure we are providing tailor-made experiences for students.

At Orientation you'll build community with other students, learn the ins and outs of being a Shocker, and start shaping your Shocker story. Each Orientation is unique to your admissions or program delivery. Below and on each program page, you will find additional details about what to expect, offering type, goals, and answers to many frequently asked questions.
