Orientation
Widener will soon begin construction on a new academic building to house the School of Nursing and the Oskin Leadership Institute.
Widener's four campuses became tobacco-free on July 1, 2010.
Student Affairs coordinates many processes to get students started. This page guides you through many of the services our incoming students need to start their semester.
Becoming a part of the Widener University Pride includes registering for classes once accepted, the option to participate in a pre-orientation experience, and attending orientation before classes start.
Summer Registration
Incoming first-year students attend a one-day Student Summer Registration and Parent Orientation session. For students this day includes meeting fellow classmates and C.R.E.W. Leaders, taking placement exams and registering for fall courses. Click Summer Registration to learn more.

Fall Orientation
Pride Experience II: Orientation
Wednesday, August 22nd - Sunday, August 26th
Our Fall Orientation program is designed to help students make a smooth transition into college. All first year students are required to attend Fall Orientation. During Orientation, students will attend a series of academic and social events aimed to prepare students for a successful experience at Widener University.
New students will be guided through each day of Orientation by their C.R.E.W. Leaders. C.R.E.W. Leaders are upper class Widener University students who are trained to answer all your questions about life at Widener.
Check out the Fall 2012 Orientation Schedule (Coming Soon) to view the ample opportunities students will have to meet other incoming students, faculty and staff.
