Orientation
To get started at the University of Washington Tacoma, you will need to complete new student orientation. Many components of orientation are required of all new students and it is where you will be introduced to academics, student life, and extracurricular opportunities.
Pack Advisors
In your first year, you will be assigned to one of four packs (Purple, Gold, Black or Gray). Your pack will help you get to know other students, participate in activities and be provided with helpful resources.
Faculty & Staff Resources
The transition into the academic, cultural, and social environments of UW Tacoma is a year-long process that requires strong partnership across the campus. We partner with faculty and staff from every department at UW Tacoma.
