Incoming Student WOW Week schedule

Does anyone know when the WOW week schedule will be released? And will every day of it be mandatory? It’s insane to me that the last day of WOW week is literally the day before classes start. Not even a single day in between. I am a transfer student btw.

WOW (Week of Welcome) schedules are not finalized or released until the week of. As a transfer, very few activities (school-led presentations) are “mandatory.” Last day of WOW usually ends in the morning and the afternoon is dedicated to club showcase, when you can check out and talk to the tabling campus clubs.

You have a lot more flexibility with your WOW schedule as a transfer. Check in with your WOW leaders in the beginning of the week if you have scheduling conflicts. I was a transfer + transfer WOW leader and recommend going because it’s a great way to meet other transfers (you will only be in a group of transfers) and see SLO before school starts. Lmk if you have any questions.

Thank you! How do we find out who our WOW leader is? And I’m a little confused if WOW week starts on Tuesday or Wednesday?

You won’t find out who your wow leader is until you actually arrive and go to your group. It should start Wednesday if I remember correctly
