Orientation
What can I expect from University Orientation?
The Office of Orientation encourages you to consider the possibilities that lie ahead of you as a member of Washington University's Class of 2013. Even though many of you will have been on campus through our various special summer programs, all new students are expected to attend Orientation from August 20 - 25. During this time, you will meet the administrators, faculty, staff and current students who will help you begin to shape your Washington University experience. For more information, please visit the Office of Orientation Web site.
Registration
When can I register for classes?
On August 3 at 7:30 a.m. (CST), registration for fall classes begins. Our hope is for about half of engineering freshmen registration to be completed before orientation. It is important to know some questions and issues cannot be resolved until you arrive on campus for orientation. Before classes begin, there may be some popular classes, like Chemistry and Physics that appear to be full. The Freshman Registration Book gives specific instructions regarding registration for these courses. Be assured that there is plenty of time to resolve all issues and fully register before classes begin.
Supplies
What type of calculator should I purchase?
The math department recommends you wait until classes start to find out whether a calculator is important for your course. However, if you want to purchase a calculator before you arrive, consult the Math department's Web site for specific recommendations regarding calculators.
Does the School of Engineering recommend a specific type of computer for students' personal use?
Engineering IT (EIT) can answer specific questions regarding your personal computer.
Specifications on purchasing a computer and discounts
Free software for personal machines
Questions regarding personal computer recommendations for Engineering students can also be directed to EIT via e-mail: support@seas.wustl.edu.
Who is my academic advisor?
During the registration process in early August, a member of Engineering Student Services will serve as your academic advisor. On July 20, this advisor's name will be posted on your WebSTAC account. If you have questions about course selection, the registration process, or the school in general, please contact your academic advisor.
