Things to leave home....
- Pets- while we all love our pets, RWU has a pet policy that does not allow animals on campus. The only pets that are allowed on campus are fish (within policy requirements) and service animals, so please leave Fluffy at home.
- Alcohol & Illegal Substances- when you arrive for orientation, you are considered a RWU student and are required to comply with University regulations. If you are found with alcohol or drugs during orientation, you will be subject to disciplinary action and may jeopardize your status as student.
Significant Others
Orientation is for new students to get to know one another as well as the University. It is hard to do that while a significant other is with you. Family and significant others are welcome to join the family program.
