Clarion Orientation
Welcome to PennWest Clarion!
Once you’ve submitted your enrollment deposit, you can register for orientation to get to know the campus and meet some of your incoming class peers. You will also have the opportunity to review your fall schedule, meet with faculty and staff, and get all of your financial aid and residence life questions answered.

Summer 2025 New Student Orientation
Orientation is a program for students who are committed to attending PennWest! Even if you plan to attend or have attended an Admitted Students Day event sponsored by the Office of Student Development, you are expected to participate in a First-Year Orientation session.
For Parents and Supporters:
Are you the parent, family member or guardian of a future Golden Eagle? Email family-clarion@pennwest.edu to ask questions or to set up a phone call with our Office of Parent and Family Engagement.
When you attend New Student Orientation (NSO) with your student, you will have your own break-out session to interact with staff and meet other parents/guests.
