Welcome Days
Welcome Days are designed to help integrate students into their life as a Yellow Jacket and to familiarize them with their new Waynesburg family.
During Welcome Days, students will have opportunities to connect with new and current students, faculty and staff while learning about the resources and services that Waynesburg University has to offer on campus. At the same time, students will meet their Fiat Lux class, academic advisor and create memories and friends that will last a lifetime.
The Welcome Days Schedule for August 2026 will be announced at a later date.
Move-In Day & Unpacking Your Car
The day is finally here. You are moving into college! In preparation for your arrival on campus, we encourage you to pay careful attention to the suggested packing list. Also, please be sure to look at the campus map before arriving on campus.
Upon arriving to campus, you will need to visit the Student Development Office (3rd floor of the Stover Campus Center) before heading to your residence hall. At Student Development, you will have your photo ID taken, receive your WU Student ID keycards, pick up your orientation packets, turn-in any necessary medical forms, athletic medical forms (for athletes only), sign housing contracts, and have the opportunity to meet the Student Development family.
After you have checked in at the Stover Campus Center, please drive to your perspective residence hall. Student volunteers will direct you to the closest entrance of your residence hall, help you unload your belongings and carry any items to your living arrangements. After your belongings are unloaded from your vehicle, we ask that you move your car to the closest parking lot (we will direct you) to make room for other students.
After “taking care of business” with Student Development, feel free to finalize any housekeeping matters with the Business Office, Financial Aid Office or Registrar’s Office. All offices on campus are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After visiting these offices, you are free to go to your residence hall to unpack and relax until 2:30 p.m., when orientation activities begin. Be sure to check the Welcome Days schedule above for the full itinerary.
Commuter Resources
As a commuter student at WU, you'll have several opportunities to connect with other commuters on campus throughout each semester. Gather for a Commuter Connection event or a Grab-and-Go Snack bag every other month in the new Commuter Lounge, located on the second floor of the Stover Campus Center, or join the Commuter Club on campus.
