Summer Orientations (NSOs) are for new freshmen planning to start at WT in the Summer or Fall of 2021. Registration is now open.
About
Our summer orientations are 2-day overnight programs that introduce new students to our campus and community. All new freshmen are placed in a small group with a current student leader. Orientation includes information on academics, campus resources, campus life, technology, traditions, and more. Students will also meet with an academic advisor and register for classes on Day 2 of NSO.
In a new format this year, each orientation will be limited to 100 students. The orientations will start at 5:00 pm on Day 1 and end at 5:00 pm on Day 2.
Dates
Please note that some of these sessions will be specific to certain Academic Colleges. If you do not know what academic college your major is a part of, you can view a list of degrees by College. Please do not make travel arrangements until you have registered and reserved your spot in an orientation.
