The two-day Advising & Orientation (A&O) session will connect you with campus resources, current students and other new students. These sessions will begin in June.  Both days are mandatory.

• Day 1: fully in person on campus
• Day 2: fully online

At A&O you will learn about how to register for classes and what to register for.   

Step 3:  Welcome Week

Welcome Week will take place during the first week of Autumn quarter.  There will be many  programs and activities to help you enhance your Husky experience  and further your connections on campus! 

Peer Coaching 

All first year students will be assigned a Peer Coach as part of the First Year Coaching Program.  You will meet your Peer Coach at your A&O.  In September, you will be contacted by your Peer Coach who will serve as your mentor and personal guide to UW Bothell throughout Fall quarter.  Your Peer Coach will set-up monthly meetings with you to go over your goals, answer questions, and point you in the right direction as you create your Husky experience.
