New Coug Orientation
Welcome to WSU!
New Coug Orientation Sessions

Spring New Coug Orientation
New Cougs starting in the Spring Semester will attend a one-day New Coug Orientation program on January 4. Students will need to complete their New Student To-Do List, pre-orientation modules, and virtual advising appointment ahead of their express orientation session.

Summer New Coug Orientation
Our two-day Summer New Coug Orientation program is offered in June and July. First-year students will be advised and register for classes in-person at orientation. Transfer students are eligible for early advising and course registration prior to their orientation session.

Family & Supporter Orientation
The Family and Supporter Orientation Sessions provide new WSU families and supporters with the tools necessary to support their new Coug’s transition to WSU. The family and supporter orientation will consist of separate programming focused on supporting your New Coug, but will run concurrent dates and times as your student’s session.
Community Based Orientation
In addition to our General New Coug Orientation and Transfer New Coug Orientation we also have several Community-Based Orientation sessions.
La Bienvenida – Orientación en Español para Familias/Spanish Language Orientation Program for Families
Las familias que hablan Español están invitados a orientación conocida como La Bienvenida. Esta sesión de dos días ofrece información sobre la comunidad de WSU, los servicios y el apoyo disponibles en el campus de Pullman, WA. Esta sesión es completamente en español para las familias. Los estudiantes seguirán un camino único en inglés, separados de su familia.
Hawai‘i Orientation Program
Hawai‘i Cougs and their families are encouraged to participate in an orientation program centering on their experiences as they prepare for the transition to college and life in Pullman, WA. The orientation will be held in Oahu, HI.
International Student Tutorial
International students must attend both a New Coug Orientation Program and the International Student Tutorial.
