What You Can Expect at Orientation

UW-Eau Claire's New Student Orientation Program will acquaint you with campus and prepare you well for your college experience. You’ll learn the ropes of student life, engage with administration, staff, faculty, and other Blugolds, learn about key policies & procedures crucial to your success as a student, and for our first year students - you'll be able to meet 1-on-1 with your advisor to register for classes.
