ARCH (Academic Registration and Creative Horizons)
All incoming students must attend one ARCH session in June. ARCH is your opportunity to learn more about academics at Wooster, meet some of your future Wooster mentors and classmates, and register for your first semester classes. We encourage anyone who is able to participate in one of the in-person sessions, however there are virtual sessions for those unable to make it to campus this summer.
ARCH registration will be available here in late February.
