On behalf of the New Student and Parent Orientation program, Welcome to Westfield State College!  Transfer Orientation at WSC is designed for you to maximize your time here to make your transition in the fall easier.  You will have an opportunity to meet with your academic advisor, interact with other new students, meet the orientation team, take a campus tour, get your ID and even stop in to check out the bookstore!

Our Transfer Orientation session is scheduled for Thursday, August 20, 2009.  Your time is pre-selected for you based on your major.  Later this summer, you will receive information from the Registrar's office indicating your specific time of day?morning or afternoon.

Check-in is scheduled for Wilson Hall (please follow signage from the Commuter Parking Lot) from 8:00-8:30am.  Please be prompt.  At that time, you will pick up your new academic audit, take your ID picture, meet your Orientation Leader and find out your advisement schedule.  While you wait for your appointment, the orientation team will be available to assist you with any questions you have about life at WSC.  While the program is scheduled for a half of a day, once you have completed your advising session and connected with the Orientation program, you are free to leave. 

Please plan to attend this program without other friends, siblings or guests since we are unable to accommodate them during this program.

What to Bring to Orientation:

$10 for your student ID (cash or check only, made out to WSC)

Academic paperwork or schedule (sent to you under separate mailing from the Division of Academic Affairs)
