First Six Weeks The First Six Weeks is a collection of events and programs across campus that will address topics when they are most relevant. We want to ensure you are getting connected to campus and finding your community. Wildcat Success Day: Your Resource Refresher Near the opening of registration for winter term, this event will bring together the web of support from across campus in one location to help keep you on track. Your Home away from Home You belong here. We are ready to help you achieve all your goals and dreams and we want you to find your home away from home. If there is anything we can do to aid in your transition, let us know. Questions are welcomed and encouraged. CWU.Orientation@cwu.edu
Over the last eight months we have worked to help prepare you for fall and your academic career at CWU. This guide is full of resources and tips to help your transition, and set you up for an amazing year at Central. We hope to begin the year with a ton of activities as we reboot the Wildcat experience. The event-packed week will provide a taste of what to expect during the next 10 months. A few core experiences will introduce you to the many on-campus opportunities. CENTRAL 101/301 CENTRAL 101/301 will continue to serve as a transition portal throughout your first year on campus. We will supplement this publication and provide weekly updates highlighting offices, staff, events, and opportunities for you. UNIV 101 UNIV 101 is a 1-credit graded course for all students with fewer than 45 transfer credits. This course will strategically explore the many resources on campus and provide a base for future planning and academic success. Within this guide is information supporting many assignments within UNIV 101.
Transfer students comprise 40 percent of CWU students. They come from all over the state, the country, and the world. Some live on campus, some live off campus. Some take online programs, and some attend at centers around the state. Some enrolled in college right after high school, some are nontraditional students. Some are living away from their parents for the first time, some are parents themselves. Some have had successful careers, some have served in the military, some are international students. In other words, transfer students are diverse, and diversity strengthens ourcommunity and our classrooms. The Transfer Center is committed to facilitating a seamless transition for our students from their previous institutions, at all stages of that process. We invite you as new Wildcats to get involved in Transfer Center activities, whether that’s meeting with one of our peer ambassadors, attending a social event, or hanging out in our Transfer Lounge, which has computers, a microwave, comfy couches, and puzzles and games. We look forward to connecting with you.
FALL 2020 ADMITTED STUDENTS As we begin the fall 2021 quarter, we would like to include you in many of the fall orientation activities you would have participated in in 2020. There are many opportunities to connect with other students from across campus, to learn about the many campus resources to serve you, opportunities to get involved, and clubs and organizations to find your community. Please utilize this guide in your on-campus experience. We also recommend following CWU Hype Street Team on social media to stay in the know. @cwuhype
