For those of you who have already deposited here at WNE, you have an exciting few weeks ahead! You should be receiving in the mail information regarding Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) and placement testing. All students are required to take both English and Math placement tests prior to coming to SOAR. You can find these tests on your Connect2U account. Registration is now open for SOAR sessions. To register for SOAR please call 413-782-1312 or visit this link.  Summer Orientation is a critical part of your WNE experience. Here students will be meeting their fellow classmates including potential roommates, selecting their classes for their first semester of college, learning more about the important resources on campus, hearing from current students on their experiences, finding out more about the Bear Tracks program, and much more! Please review the dates of our SOAR session offerings to select the best option for you.  To review these dates and see the timeline of events as a deposited student, please visit our deposited students website with this link.
