First-Year Autumn Admitted Students
The Advising & Orientation Process will be available to Autumn Admit First-Year Students starting May 1st.
Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Washington Bothell! We are excited to welcome you as the newest members of the UW Bothell community. After completing this process, you will hopefully feel connected to the campus, know the resources and opportunities available to you, and also be ready to register for classes.
Orientation Process
Step 1: Self-Paced Online Learning (Opens May 1st)
Before registering for an Advising & Orientation (A&O) session, you’ll need to complete two required online courses:
Once both courses are complete, you’ll receive a registration link for your Advising & Orientation session to your UW Email within 5 business days.
Step 2: Advising & Orientation (Hybrid)
At your A&O, you will build on the information you learned in UWB101, learn about campus resources, meet other new Huskies, and connect with your academic advisor. Sessions are offered throughout the summer beginning in June, and both days are mandatory.
Day 1: In Person, On Campus
Day 2: Fully Online
Step 3: Class Registration
You will be able to register for classes after completing your Advising & Orientation session. Review these registration resources to get started.
Step 4: 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.
Technology needs
A personal computer or tablet with internet access to and sound will be ideal to fully participate in the orientation process. Accessing the orientation process on a smartphone device will make it more difficult to participate fully. Please also be prepared to engage in activities actively and take notes. If you have any questions about accessing your remote Orientation sessions or need help support in preparing for your sessions, please visit our accommodations website.
