For New Students
Who comes here belongs here.
Congratulations on your decision to join us at William & Mary! We encourage you to explore all that lies ahead as a new student joining our community.
Are you a deposited student for Fall 2026?
Huzzah! Make sure to mark your calendar to begin frequently checking your W&M university email beginning Friday, May 1 at 12 Noon Eastern.
Before you arrive on-campus, we encourage you to connect with other new students! You will also want to review our new student requirements and bookmark your unique myTribeGuide summer checklist so all your to-do's become all-done's prior to the start of New Student Orientation (NSO).
Information about NSO and New Student Move-In will also be coming your way ... so stay tuned!
Are you a new William & Mary St Andrews Joint Degree Programme (JDP) student?
Your unique transitional pathway combines the best of all worlds. Learn more by visiting the JDP student transition pages developed just for you!
Either way ... when you arrive for Orientation, be ready because we are going to take you right up until the First Day of Classes and Opening Convocation. We can't wait to help you Find Your Experience here at W&M!
Are you a Parent, Family Member or a Supporter of a New Student?
