Registration for our Fall 2026 Viking Launch program is now live!

This immersive, weeklong program is designed to help first-year students engage with college life before fall quarter begins. From September 13 through 18, 2026, you’ll move into your selected campus residence hall, connect with other incoming students, explore Western, and begin a 2-credit seminar course of your choice — all before classes officially start. Classes and Viking Launch experiences will continue into the Fall quarter!
