Spring Entry Transition Process
Incoming freshmen will confirm their schedule with their First-Year Advisor in OneStop. Upon receiving your RSVP for Orientation, your First-Year Advisor from OneStop will pre-schedule your entire first semester of classes.
Transfer and adult learner students will schedule a meeting with their college advisor. If you call to set up your appointment, let your advisor know you're a new student and need to schedule a "Shocker Connection" advising appointment. You will meet one-on-one with an advisor in the college which houses your intended major. If you are unsure where you major is housed, consult this list of majors.
- Unsure where your major is housed? Consult the list of majors.

To maximize your experience, you'll want to enroll in classes prior to your Orientation program date. All new students enroll with the help of an academic advisor the first semester. Your class schedule will be finalized when you meet with your advisor.
Spring Orientation: You can attend an in-person half-day program (8 a.m. - 1 p.m.) to complete your Orientation requirement. Spring Orientation provides a deeper introduction to what being a member of the Wichita State community means, and connect with people and resources designed to help you be successful and enjoy your experience as a Shocker.
