What to expect at an in-person orientation.

1. You will meet other new Bulldogs. You’ll meet in small groups of 8-10 students and go through activities to learn more about each other and TWU!
2. Connect with current Bulldogs. Meet your Orientation Leaders who will also serve as your TDub Takeoff Leaders in August.
3. Meet with financial aid. You will meet with someone from Student Financial Services. Here, you can discuss your award letters, learn how to work on campus and set up a payment plan.
4. Register for your first TWU classes! Meet face-to-face with your TWU advisor. You’ll talk through Wesleyan Essentials and your major courses – then register for fall classes! (Note: transfer students will be contacted by their faculty advisor to select classes, freshmen students will select classes at Orientation)
5. Parents/Legal Guardians – your attendance is not required, but we also have a schedule of events specifically for you.
