It's Go Time!
Incoming first year and transfer students beginning classes in spring 2025 (whether you're living on- or off-campus!), will benefit tremendously from attending Orientation! We officially start on Move In Day (Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025) and continue through the weekend with Orientation and Week of Welcome. New students are expected to attend every day. If that's not possible, let us know by emailing orientation@uwrf.edu.
Orientation is a crucial step in your transition to campus.
Current students (Orientation Leaders) and Resident Assistants will guide you through the entire weekend! You'll get an email with your own individual Orientation schedule. Keep in mind that yours may be different than a friend's - you'll be in a small group with others in your residence hall (if living on campus) or other commuters (if living off campus). When you aren't at Orientation sessions during the day, make sure to attend Week of Welcome events.
