Orientation

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

• If you are a first-year student, you are required to attend Orientation. Starting March 2023, students enrolling fall quarter will be able to register for orientation through their CWU Applicant Portal. Continue to check your email for additional orientation information.
