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 and the Roadmap website. 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).
Launch dates for items are below. Items will be live on your portal at 7 p.m. Eastern.
