Phase T.W.O. Orientation is a mandatory program which will prepare you for both academic and student life here at Purchase College. Each day of orientation is full of programs, activities, and events designed to make your transition to Purchase College as seamless as possible. Attending college is an exciting chapter in your life and we are excited that you have chosen to become part of the Purchase community.

Phase T.W.O. New Student Orientation takes place once you have moved on campus and prior to the beginning of classes. We require all students, resident and commuter, to attend programs on August 23, 24, and 25. These programs will continue the conversations and enhance the information provided during the July sessions to prepare you for the start of classes and your time at Purchase College. Phase T.W.O. Orientation promotes learning through faculty, staff and peer led seminars, workshops, and educational and social programming.

All resident students should complete the following steps by August 14 in order to be in good standing with the college to receive their Panther Pass for freshmen move in day on August 22, 2019.  

Begins September 3!

Tutors will be available several evenings a week for drop-in help with writing and basic math courses in the Wayback 1st floor study lounge. This is open to all Purchase students, not just Wayback residents– no swipe access necessary! 

Sundays: 6-9PM

Mondays: 7-9PM

Tuesdays: 7-9PM

Thursdays: 7-10PM

These hours are for drop-in help only, which means they are not on the WCOnline tutoring schedule. The first day of tutoring in both the Learning Center and Wayback will be September 3. 

Check out some resources to help address roommate issues proactively and help build lifelong friendships.   

The college has some limited funds to assist with the cost of textbooks.  If you are struggling to pay for all your textbooks, visit the Textbook Assistance web page for more information.
