What Can I Expect from Orientation?
WUSO is what we call the Woodbury University Student Orientation experience. It’s not just one day….it’s a whole experience. WUSO is comprised of three parts.
Step 1: Placement Exam
Some programs require a math placement exam. Uncertain if you need to take one? Check out the Mathematics Placement Guide. If your program does require one, you will receive a link from us.
Step 2: Onboarding
Once you have been admitted to Woodbury, we will send you the link to the online orientation module through email. This is a short overview of all the campus resources available to you. It takes around 30-45 minutes to complete.
Step 3: In-Person Orientation
Next comes your visit to campus and your schedule! You will have the opportunity to meet with your academic advisor, receive your schedule, and register for classes at the orientation. To register click the link below.
