Schedule and Details

Choosing a university is often a decision that involves the whole family. Bring your parents! There are sessions designed especially for them. Preview Weekend will answer lots of your parents’ questions about TWU and help prepare them for your university experience. Since overnight accommodations are limited to students, here are some suggestions for nearby lodging.

Transfer students - we know you’ve been through this before. You have a different set of questions and concerns. Don’t worry! Preview Weekend will get you the info you need and show you what life is like at TWU.
