Orientation is a program designed to assist new students and their families in adjusting to life as a student at Winthrop University.   During Orientation, new students meet current student leaders, receive information on the academic and social aspects of college life, are advised, and register for classes.

All freshmen entering in the fall are required to attend one of four two-day Orientation sessions offered each June.   Family members are encouraged to take advantage of Family Orientation, a program offered concurrently with the first day of each of the student sessions.

Transfer students entering Winthrop in the fall may take advantage of Transfer Orientation in May or July.   New students entering in the spring semester are required to attend a one-day Orientation held two days before classes begin.
