Welcoming new undergrads to the UW

Undergraduate Academic Affairs

This summer, thousands of freshmen and transfer students — 8,000+ of them — will participate in summer Advising and Orientation. With this year’s record-breaking numbers of freshmen, advisers, faculty, First Year Programs’ staff, student orientation leaders and campus-wide partners are busier than ever helping our newest students transition to the UW so they are able to take advantage of the UW’s boundless opportunities for undergraduates.Image of Summer Advising and Orientation pdf

Advising and Orientation at the UW is done within an academic framework, helping students put down roots so, come fall quarter, they are ready to grow.
