Week of Welcome Orientation

New Coug Orientation during Week of Welcome (WOW) is an express one-day program that combines orientation programming and WOW Signature Events in one-day! Schedules vary by session to accommodate participation in Signature Events.

All students must be advised and registered BEFORE their orientation session. There will not be on-site advising during the program. Log in to your CougReady portal to schedule your appointment today if you have not already.

These sessions are smaller than our summer programs, and we do not provide Family & Supporter programming or overnight accommodations. Students registered for Week of Welcome orientation sessions should plan to be comfortably moved into their on-campus housing or apartment for the semester.
