Welcome to the Wheaton Community! Winter Orientation 2023, for new students admitted for the Spring Term, is a comprehensive program available to both new first year and new transfer students. The program is designed to prepare you for your first days at Wheaton and introduce you to some of the people that will support you along the way.
Registration is not required as all enrolled new students are expected to attend.
Campus Arrival
The Office of Residential Life has communicated with all students via email to outline the check-in and arrival process. All students must have an arrival appointment to move-in and participate in the Orientation programs. Those appointments are available to be scheduled through the housing portal. Check-in appointments are available for Monday, January 23, Tuesday, January 24, and Wednesday, January 25th. All hours are between 10am and 4pm.
When students arrive on campus, they should go directly to the Balfour-Hood Center to check-in. There will be a designated check-in table for first year and transfer students – look out for the banner and staff working the table. Parking will be available in Lot #4. Please contact reslife@wheatoncollege.edu with any specific questions about move-in.
