Online Orientation is required for all admitted students and must be completed before you can move forward in the Orientation process.

In this step, you will complete your Online Orientation modules and learn about key academic resources, campus services, and what to expect as a UW Tacoma student.

Completing Online Orientation allows you to move forward with New Student Advising & Registration (NSAR).

All new students are required to meet with an Academic Advisor during a New Student Advising & Registration (NSA&R) session before they can register for classes. Keep an eye on your email for a message from University Academic Advising with instructions on how to sign up. Before scheduling your session, make sure you've completed your Online Orientation.

All new students are required to complete the following online trainings as part of the Orientation process. These courses are designed to help you build a safe, respectful, and informed campus community.

Husky Prevention & Response (HPR)

Husky Prevention & Response is a required online course focused on preventing sex- and gender-based violence, harassment, and discrimination. Through this course, you will learn how to build respectful environments, understand consent and healthy relationships, recognize harmful behaviors, and access campus resources and reporting options.

Completion of this course is required for all new students. Students who do not complete the course will have a registration hold placed on their account.

Hazing Prevention 101

Hazing Prevention 101 is a required online course that helps students identify, prevent, and report hazing. You will learn how to recognize hazing behaviors, understand their impact, and take action to create a safe and respectful campus community.

Completion of this course is required for all incoming students.

We’re excited to welcome new students to an in-person Orientation! During this session, you will: learn more about what to expect as a UW Tacoma student, hear about vital resources and where to find your classes, participate in the challenge coin tradition and student passport, and meet staff and learn where key offices are located. Attendance is required for all new students.

Please contact uwtnsp@uw.edu if you have a hardship and need to request an exemption.
