SOAR

Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration

At SOAR you will learn more about academic and student life opportunities at Westminster from members of the Westminster community. You will also have a one-on-one session with an academic advisor who will help you register for your fall classes.

Move-In and New Student Week

New Student Week will introduce incoming students to Academics and Student Life at Westminster College! Before fall classes begin for all students, new students will meet their peer mentors, begin their Westminster Seminar and Leader Within courses, and learn about campus programs and resources. 

New and Transfer Student Convocation

Check back for info on convocation 2025

New Student Convocation is a beloved tradition at Westminster that officially marks the beginning of your individual journey at the College. As you pass through the historic Columns, you enter into a respected, time-honored tradition. 

“What’s not to love? Small college, intimate classroom settings, deeply rooted history, and a dedicated team of faculty, staff, and friendly students. I love Westminster because I have truly been able to be myself and pursue what I want, being extremely successful in the process because of the support of this college.”

Ben Morrow, Class of 2021
