Orientation Programs
Summer Orientation
Summer Orientation takes place in June for all new students entering in the Fall semester. You’ll explore our campus and learn everything you need to know to prepare for your transition to Wheaton. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to meet your fellow classmates and make new friends before the Fall Orientation. Families and friends have access to Summer Orientation programs as well.
Fall Orientation – Welcome Weekend
This mandatory orientation takes place in the days immediately before the start of classes. The event includes Early Arrival Programs and specific sessions for residential living, commuters and transfer students. Throughout the weekend, you’ll explore our campus, learn about academic and community resources, and connect with other new students at fun social events and activities.
Winter Orientation
Wheaton welcomes new first-year and transfer students admitted for the Spring Term with a Winter Orientation in January. This mandatory 2-day program is a great way to learn about academic and campus resources, connect with other new students, and immerse yourself in our warm and welcoming community.
