Transfer Orientation

What is Transfer New Coug Orientation?

WSU offers two transfer-specific orientation sessions throughout the academic year. Although transfer students are eligible to attend any orientation session, our two-day orientation program is solely focused on the transfer student experience. The Transfer New Coug Orientation is an express orientation program for students who have over 40+ quarter credits or 27+ semester credits, post high school. Students will be advised and registered for classes in-person at their orientation session.
