The Importance of Attending Orientation

The transition to college is so much more than progressing from one education level to the next. It’s the beginning of true self-transformation and discovery.

The freshman year can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. This is also a big transition time for transfer students. In both cases, being well-prepared is the first step. Orientation can help you begin your journey at TWU with confidence and a sense of belonging.

Are you ready to set your college years up for success?

Why Orientation Matters

Equally as important for both parents and students – including transfer students – college orientation serves as a powerful guide for what’s to come, what to expect, and how to make the most of your time as a Bulldog.

Students who attend their college orientation are:

• More engaged in academically enriching activities
• Express greater satisfaction with the overall college experience
• More likely to pass their classes, retain, and graduate

What to Expect at TWU’s Orientation

TWU’s New Student Orientation helps the entire family learn what it’s like to be a Bulldog.

•  Get a taste of the activities offered throughout the semester
• Learn from current students
•  Have informed conversations about the coming years
• Establish lasting bonds of friendship with other new students before the semester even starts!

Your journey begins here, and we can’t wait to officially welcome you to the TWU family.
