New Student Orientation

Westminster University is thrilled you decided to join the Griffin community. New Student Orientation is a mandatory program for all new students entering the fall and spring semesters that helps students adjust to life at Westminster.

2025 New Student Orientation Program

Spring Orientation is a virtual orientation program designed for new first-year and transfer students to explore campus and connect with other incoming students, staff, and faculty. There will also be a new student luncheon held on the first day of classes, which all new students are invited to attend.

Registration and Cost

All new students must participate in Spring Orientation (including students transferring into the Nursing program). BBA program students will attend a separate orientation program. The cost of orientation is billed to each student account as a mandatory orientation fee covering all program and administrative costs to run Spring Orientation.
