What to expect at an in-person orientation.
- 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!
- Connect with current Bulldogs. Meet your Orientation Leaders who will also serve as your TDub Takeoff Leaders in August.
- 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.
- 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)
