Get Prepared, Schedule Classes, & Have Fun Doing It

As the name hints, Summer Registration, also known as Pride Experience I, is a one-day experience designed to allow our incoming freshmen to register for fall classes and connect with fellow classmates, C.R.E.W. Leaders, and the Orientation team. You'll get acquainted with life at Widener—the campus, the people, the resources, the fun! Parents and families can also join in on the fun by attending their very own Parent and Family Orientation Program.

Pride Experience 1: Summer Registration dates are scheduled for June 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, or 23, 2022

We're now offering all Orientation sessions in-person and on-campus. To safeguard your health and well-being, please stay up-to-date on all COVID-19 related policies by visiting our COVID-19 Information page.

Registration for all Pride Experience 1: Summer Registrations sessions will open on April 18, 2022.
