Orientation at CWRU is not just one week of activities. Orientation at CWRU is a process for new students that starts now and flows into the fall semester. Your Roadmap shows the various activities, forms and tasks you will need to complete as an incoming student.
When it’s time for an item to be active, you will see live links in your portal. If something is not hyperlinked in that block, it will most likely be an item that will be emailed to you. So always pay attention to your CWRU email (abc123@case.edu).
Because nursing students begin their clinicals in the first semester, there are additional nursing-specific Roadmap checklist items to complete before arriving on campus. If you would like to change your intended major in nursing, please email admission@case.edu by July 1 so you are able to stay on track with the requirements.
