Orientation
The Orientation experience occurs the weekend before the Fall Semester begins. This year, the dates are August 24-26. We want you to have the best possible start to your collegiate career, which is why Orientation is required of all first year students. Transfer students should consider participating as well. A detailed orientation schedule will be posted here on August 1, but here’s an overview of how it works.
Life on Campus
When classes begin on Monday, August 27, you'll have learned a lot about the campus, met some of the staff, and forged many new friendships. Now it's time to really concentrate on understanding Westminster's academic year and making sure you are positioning yourself for success.
