Walters State’s Orientation experience consists of the following components:

First-time degree or certificate seeking students are required to complete online Orientation. Students will be notified in their MyWS account and via Senators Mail when online orientation should be completed and instructions will be provided.
New transfer or readmitted students:
New transfer or readmitted students have the option to complete online Orientation and will be notified via Senators Mail of this optional online resource when it becomes available.
First-time degree or certificate seeking students:
After completing online Orientation, first-time degree or certificate seeking students will be assigned an academic advisor and notified in their MyWS account to schedule an academic advising appointment. During the academic advising appointment, students will select and register for classes for the upcoming semester.
New transfer or readmitted students:
New transfer or readmitted students will be notified in their MyWS account and via Senators Mail when it is time to schedule an academic advising appointment. During the academic advising appointment, students will select and register for classes for the upcoming semester.
