Orientation is your first step toward success at Wright State Lake Campus, connecting you with the essential resources and knowledge you’ll need to thrive as a Laker. During your time here, you will meet with an academic advisor to register for classes and begin building connections with fellow first-year students. You’ll also become familiar with our campus support systems and learn the university policies that will guide you throughout your journey.
Lake Campus offers orientation once a year, during the summer. New students coming directly from high school and College Credit Plus students starting in the Fall are required to attend an orientation session. Orientation is where you will register for classes and learn about the services available to you as a Wright State University—Lake Campus student.
Prepare for Orientation
Become familiar with your Wright State accounts. Log in to your Admissions Portal with the email and password you used to apply to the university. Follow the instructions in the "Set Up Your Account" section to reset password for your account. Please bring your login information with you or be ready to log in to WINGS. If you need assistance with WINGS visit the CaTS Student Support page for step-by-step instructions.
Check your financial aid status. If you plan to use federal financial aid to help pay for classes, you will need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you've already submitted your FAFSA, you can check your status in WINGS under Financial Aid. You might have outstanding requirements, such as verification, so it's important to make sure all requirements are satisfied. For additional information about your award notice, visit the Enrollment Services website.
Submit your transcripts: If you earned College Credit Plus (CCP) credits through a school other than Wright State, please send us your official transcripts once final grades are posted.
Check your email: Make it a habit to check your Wright State email often—it's where we’ll send all your most important updates.
Apply for Lake Campus housing: If you plan to live on campus, you will need to apply to live in campus housing. You will find the application through a link in your admissions portal, or through WINGS. Assignments will be made according to the time and date of application for students who have submitted a complete application with pre-payment, so apply early!
