The First Six Weeks is Phase IV of CWU’s fall new student orientation program and part of the University 101 class. Orientation & Transition Programs, in collaboration with faculty and staff, facilitate programs across campus. Topics address the academic and transitional issues first year students typically face during the first six weeks of their college career. In order to direct the programming efforts during First Six Weeks, we categorize each event into the four pillars described on pages 4-5. Please be sure to review the instructions for UNIV 101 on the following page. See the list of programs/activities below each pillar overview.

First Six Weeks is coordinated by the office for Orientation & Transition Programs.Direct questions or inquiries to CWU.Orientation@cwu.edu or 509.963.2735

STUDENT SUCCESSStudent success is defined as students achieving academic, personal and professional growth through educationally purposeful programs, events, services and activities within and beyond the classroom. Success as a student thrives on the foundation of a welcoming and inclusive university environment and cannot be achieved without a supportive CWU community.
