You won’t need any money for the actual program, but you may want to bring some money if you would like to grab a snack or if you want to buy some Knightro gear in the WGTC Bookstore!
No, you are not required to pay tuition and fees at orientation. Please check Self-Service Banner Web and the WGTC website for information about fee payment deadlines. Your classes will be dropped if you do not pay fees by the deadline.
The program should last no more than two hours, so there will not be food provided at orientation; however, if you bring snack money you can find vending machines conveniently located in hallways as well as in the Student Center. Snacks can also be purchased in the bookstore.
We will introduce you to all the things you need to know to be successful at WGTC. During orientation you will meet key individuals on your campus, advisers and other students. You will be advised and registered for classes. We can’t wait to have you join WGTC!
Yes, but here’s why. All new students or students who have been out for two years must attend orientation. This is a chance for you to get warmed up before the big first day of class. We want to make sure you’re comfortable with your campus, your classes and your schedule. Orientation is also a great time to meet other students! Make sure you sign up for orientation as soon as possible so that you get the date and campus location of your choice!

Due to the current global pandemic all orientation sessions for Summer 2020 will be held online. Typically all students would be required to attend a face-to-face orientation and online orientation will become available the day after regular new student face-to-face orientation is over. Fall 2020 online orientation will be made available July 23rd for anyone who cannot attend face-to-face orientation.
