New Student Orientation

Welcome to Kentucky Wesleyan College!

We are excited you are joining the Wesleyan family in Fall 2026! Whether you are coming to Kentucky Wesleyan as a first-year student or a transfer student, New Student Orientation will ensure that your transition to Kentucky Wesleyan is smooth and enjoyable. Move-in for new students who are not fall athletes will occur on Friday, August 21st from 9am-11am.

All new students (both first-years and transfers) are required to participate in New Student Orientation which directly follows move-in and is scheduled Friday, August 21 through Monday, August 24. Classes begin on Tuesday, August 25. Through participating in New Student Orientation, we hope that all new students will:

• Enhance their understanding of college requirements and resources designed to support them as they strive for academic success.

• Connect to the Kentucky Wesleyan community and build their confidence and excitement about their college choice.

• Discover Kentucky Wesleyan College’s traditions and campus culture.

• Understand the transitional issues (social and academic) they may encounter during their first year and how to manage them.

• Intellectually engage with faculty, staff, administrators, and other students to strengthen their understanding of the academic expectations of the college experience.
