At Washington State University, we have been carefully evaluating wellness and safety concerns related to COVID-19. It is with thoughtful consideration that WSU Pullman has adjusted the delivery for our summer Alive Orientation programs. All Summer Alive Orientation programs have been converted to online programs and will be conducted on the original scheduled days. To learn more about WSU’s continued response to COVID-19, please visit our COVID-19 information page.
Alive Orientation Summer 2020
With thoughtful consideration of everyone who participates and delivers Alive Orientation sessions, we have decided to change the delivery of our June & July Alive Orientation sessions from in-person programs to online programs. This means all summer Alive Orientation sessions offered throughout June and July will be online programs.
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.
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.
Coming to orientation was very reassuring. It showed me I wouldn’t be in this all on my own. Connecting with my orientation group made me feel like I already had some friends coming in.
