Orientation
Incipio & welcome weekend
Incipio orientation (mandatory for all first-year students, but welcome to all new students) is held the weekend before school begins. Move into your new room, meet new friends, join us for root beer floats and explore Olympia while you familiarize yourself with your new community and friends!
Incipio 2018 will be held August 24 to 26.
Save the date and check out the schedule here.
Move-in begins at 8 a.m. on August 24! Check out the information below for a smooth start to your school year.
Check in to housing and orientation by driving through the parking lot (H) behind Parsons Hall (16). At that time, you will be given your key and orientation packet and drop off your boxes at Parsons or Spangler. Our move-in crew can take all of your items up to your room for you. Then, you will park your car and have the morning to unpack before Incipio begins.
Please check in during your scheduled timeframe by last name.
- A to G: 8 to 9 a.m.
- H to O: 9 to 10 a.m.
- P to Z: 10 to 11 a.m.
- Transfer students: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Residents who move in early due to sports and other university sponsored events will be contacted prior to move-in with directions. Please make sure to complete your early arrival request form.
