Orientation registration will begin at the end of March.  A packet will arrive in the mail that reads:  "Please open immediately, important registration documents enclosed."

Welcome! You’re about to set out on the next great adventure of your life: your college career at WCU. We’re looking forward to meeting you and helping you find your place at your new home away from home.

During orientation you’ll find all the resources you need to gear up for study at WCU. You’ll meet faculty, counselors, and your fellow students. You’ll choose your classes for your first term and learn about our computer systems. You’ll experience life in the residence halls and take the first steps toward building your circle of WCU friends.

And remember: Family members are welcome to share the experience with you, as well as our specially trained orientation counselors. So, register now to make sure you find a session that fits your schedule.

Please note:  Attendance at Orientation is by registration only.  You must complete all the steps in CatWalk in order to register for orientation and attend your session.  Please register early because the sessions fill up quickly.  Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.  You are more likely to get a place in the session you prefer if you register early. 

See you this summer!

*As the summer progresses, course availability declines.   Therefore, we urge all new students to complete CatWalk and choose an Orientation session as soon as possible.
**The advising process for all new students is worked into the Orientation process.  To become fully registered for classes, you will need to select and attend an Orientation date.
