After Move-in:

What happens between move-in day and the first day of classes? We’re glad you asked! From September 22nd-27th, we have a week full of exciting and informational orientation events—we call this PACK Welcome Week! This week is packed with a variety of activities to help you familiarize yourself with WOU and make lasting connections with fellow incoming students, all the while getting supported by our WOU Crew orientation leaders. 

Classes start Monday, September 29th!
