Your Orientation Process
Step 1: Self-Paced Online Learning
Available November 1 for Winter, February 1 for Spring.
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. Forwarding your UW email to a personal address may prevent you from receiving this message.
Step 2: Advising & Orientation
Your A&O will take place online using Zoom and will be approximately 7 hours, including several breaks. At your A&O, you will build on the information you learned in UWB101, learn about campus resources, meet other new students, and connect with your academic advisor.
Step 3: Registration
You will be able to register for classes after completing your Advising & Orientation session. Review these registration resources to get started.
