ALIVE!
New Student Orientation
Welcome, new Cougs!
We’re here to help you get a great start at WSU.
Nationally and at WSU, students who attend an orientation program are more likely to complete a college degree than those who do not. So, because we want you to have the best possible chance of success, we’ve designed orientation programs to help every new Coug hit the ground running in their first semester.
Current Health Notice:
There are two confirmed cases of measles in Latah County (Moscow, ID). Measles is a contagious illness, preventable through the MMR immunization. Review current information about measles and the MMR immunization.
Choose your orientation session
All new students must attend an orientation program to enroll for their first semester of classes. At your orientation program, you’ll meet with an advisor, register for classes, get familiar with campus, and find resources that will help you create an amazing experience at WSU.
