First-Year Students
Start your first year of college off strong through a series of programs targeted to your specific needs.
New Student Registration Day
All first-year students are invited by mail to participate in New Student Registration Day
On this day, you will:
- get a full introduction to college at WSU
- sign up for the eWarrior Digital Life & Learning Program
- meet with an academic advisor to register for classes
To prepare for registration day, you and your family should take time to learn about course placement options and how your prior college-level coursework will apply at WSU.
Welcome Week & Orientation
Welcome Week starts one week before fall classes begin. It's a time to move into your residence hall, have fun meeting other new students and begin your full college experience.
Orientation continues throughout your first semester with the Orientation 100 course. This one-credit class teaches you everything you need to be successful at WSU and enjoy your college experience.
Summer Classes
