Welcome to Your Orientation

We look forward to welcoming you to the Wildcat family. CWU Orientation is a great introduction to academic programs, campus resources, clubs and organizations, and much more. Orientation is available for first year students, transfer students, and families and support networks.

Orientation by Student Type
