Get Ready for Orientation!
Congratulations on being accepted to the University of Mary Washington!
Orientation for students entering the University for the Spring 2025 semester will be held on Friday, January 10th, 2025. You will receive communication via your UMW email about how to register! First-Year Orientation in January is a one-day, in person experience.
If you are planning to attend UMW beginning in Fall 2025, you will attend Summer First-Year Orientation. At UMW, this is a two-day, in-person experience that provides our newest eagles with a great opportunity to meet fellow classmates, get familiar with campus resources, prepare for course registration, and get connected with our community long before classes start in August. Summer orientation is held on multiple days in the month of June and is mandatory for first-year and transfer students. This experience will equip you to succeed in college.
There is no up front cost for students for the Orientation program as it will be billed to your UMW account. You may bring guests with you but they must be registered to attend there will be a $50 fee for each guest over the age of 7.
First-Year Orientation Dates for Summer 2025 will be announced soon!
