New Student Orientation
You're a Blugold Now!
Congratulations! We are so excited for you to join the Blugold family. We hope you're looking forward to creating the perfect path for your UW-Eau Claire story. In order to follow your blue and gold brick road, you'll need to take the first step — 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 be able to meet 1-on-1 with your advisor to register for classes.
Whether you’re a first-time student, transferring from another university or flying overseas to be here, we can’t wait to connect with you!
Which orientation process are you looking for?
First-year student
If you’ve never been to college before, then sign up here. Even if you are coming to campus with college credit through a program at your high school, you will still register for this orientation.
