August Orientation & International Students

Some students need to attend our Orientation program closer to the beginning of classes. This program is designed to welcome a variety of students to campus based on their personal needs. First Year, Transfer, and International Students are welcome to attend this Orientation session if our summer program is not feasible due to distance.

The 2019 International and August Orientation session dates will be posted in March 2019. If you have questions about these sessions, please contact the Orientation Office.

Students come to campus the week prior to classes beginning and will start their journey earlier than others at RWU. Residential students will not only check-in with Orientation but they'll also check into their fall housing assignment. We provide students the opportunity to start moving belongings into their rooms prior to our program beginning. 

Check-in begins at 9:00am in Global Heritage Hall, and our program will conclude no earlier than 4:00pm on the final day of Orientation.
