Western Seminary New Student Guide

Greetings from your Student Services staff at Western Seminary! We're looking forward to meeting you at orientation.

During orientation, you'll have the opportunity to meet the faculty and other new seminary students. You'll hear from President Downs, meet with your advisor, and learn how to register for courses, among other things. The day will be both fun and informative, and you'll be glad you came.

Since the orientation day has proven to be such a valuable experience for students and spouses, the seminary asks that you view attendance at orientation as mandatory.

As with any new journey, it's important to spend some time in preparation. To prepare for orientation, we'll ask you to spend a few minutes reviewing the following pages. Read with a pen and paper next to you so that you can jot down any questions that come up. At orientation you'll have plenty of opportunities to get answers to those questions directly from Western's staff and faculty. And with that, let the journey begin..
