NSP MISSION
The Office of New Student Programs' mission is to welcome, support, and assist new students and members of the Ram Fam by providing programs and resources aimed at student success. We achieve this mission by offering virtual and in-person orientation and welcome week programs designed to help students with the transition to college academic rigor, facilitate social connections, and explore opportunities for co-curricular involvement. Understanding the importance of family support, we work with campus partners to equip members of the Ram Fam with resources to help their students in their academic pursuits and involvement efforts during their time at West Chester University.
NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
New Golden Rams starting in fall 2024 were required to attend a summer orientation session. Orientation sessions were held for first-year students in June and July and for transfer students in August. Additionally, in August, we held adult learner orientation, virtual orientation, and a make-up orientation session. We thank all of our new students, families, and guests who joined us for their official Ram Fam welcome. We hope you found orientation informative and engaging. Best of luck during your time here at WCU. We are here to support you. RAMS UP!
Please keep an eye out for Summer 2025 orientation information coming soon.
