Orientation Programs

Orientation to the University of Washington Bothell is not a single experience, but rather a set of experiences that you will engage with over time. The Orientation experience is specific to both the quarter you are admitted and your application type (First-year vs Transfer).

After You Are Admitted to UW Bothell

You will receive information from Orientation & Transition Programs with your next steps.  You will need to make sure that you have set up your UW Email accountas this is where we will begin sending all of your communication with the university.  

There are two major steps to the Orientation process before you can register for classes.  All students will first do UWB101, which is an online program that you do at your own pace.  This orientation program will help prepare you for your next step, the Advising & Orientation (A&O) Program.  The A&O program will look different by quarter and your application type. We also have limited space in each session. You must also complete the Husky Prevention & Response course before you can register for an A&O.  For more information, you can read our FAQ page.  We also have specific programming for International Students and Veterans.  UW Bothell also has a page to learn more about accessibility accommodations.
