Welcome New Students

Welcome New Students!

Welcome to the Class of 2029!  We can't wait to meet you!

We are excited to plan for your arrival on campus and to provide you with an amazing First Days experience.  While you will be receiving regular updates, please check this site throughout the summer 2025 for information.

You will begin receiving important weekly communication starting in June 2025. Each of these weekly communication will contain steps to complete required forms, learning modules about how important systems work at Williams such as class registration, advising, libraries and more. Please plan on thoroughly reviewing each of these weekly messages and taking the steps to complete all of the tasks and modules throughout the summer.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]

Move-In Day for first-year students, and the beginning of our First Days experience will be Thursday, August 28, 2025. 

If you are a Williams First (the first in their families to go to college, the first in their communities to travel away after high school, the first in their high schools to attend a college like Williams, and more), International or Transfer student, your arrival date will be Monday, August 25. Students in these groups will hear more about our pre-orientation programs by the beginning of June 2025.
