Welcome, Class of 2021!

Orientation 2017 for our newest students will take place at the end of August.  Most International students will arrive on Monday, August 28 (online registration required), and Orientation kicks into high gear when domestic students arrive on Wednesday, August 30.  Fall athletes may arrive on different days based on their sport. Classes begin on Tuesday, September 5. 

To help you prepare for Wellesley, the Entering Students section contains important information about how new students begin their time here.  Information here will be updated for the incoming class throughout the summer.
