January 18-19, 2021: Virtual Orientation
February 6-7, 2021: In-Person Orientation and Move-In
Welcome to Wheaton College! We believe that Spring Semester Orientation will help you transition well into this community. You'll be entering with a small cohort of freshmen and transfers that you'll enjoy getting to know before classes begin and throughout the semester. The Spring Semester Orientation Committee will help orient you to Wheaton and starting classes virtually, and then will move you into your residence once in-person learning resumes on campus.
Virtual Orientation programming begins on January 18 with the Opening Program at 7pm. In-person Orientation begins on February 6. New students should make a reservation to arrive on campus between 10am-3pm in order to take a Covid test, move into their residence, and settle in while awaiting test results before starting in-person Orientation. Students will be notified of test results within 8-24 hours. See our FAQs for additional arrival information.
