New Student Days


We are so excited for you to join our community! Prepare for your transition to UNW before arriving in August.

Register for a New Student Day!

Join us for New Student Days! New Student Days are Northwestern’s “pre-Orientation” experience, where you can gather information and make connections before arriving at August Orientation. This event is your opportunity to meet other incoming students, plus professors and staff.

At New Student Days, you receive your student ID, tour a dorm and academic buildings, and finish any remaining steps for school in August. You will also connect with services like Housing, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and others.

We hope you leave New Student Days understanding all the ways Northwestern can support your new student experience. Our staff and community are excited to welcome you!
