The June 14th session is closed. West Virginia University is Where Greatness is Learned , and Orientation is your first step on your own path to greatness. To help make your transition to WVU a little easier, we've designed an Orientation program to meet your needs. At Orientation you will learn more about our academic programs, student support services, and campus life. You'll also meet with faculty and staff, including your academic advisor, meet other new students, and register for fall classes.
Orientation is required for all freshmen.
If you do not attend Orientation, you will not be able to register for classes until August 18. This year Orientation sessions will be held from June 11-29. For those students who can't attend in June, there is a session offered August 15-16. One of the important activities during Orientation is meeting with your advisor and finalizing your course schedule. To place you into the appropriate classes, WVU relies on ACT or SAT math or verbal scores as well as placement exams given on campus.
