Parking for Transfer Orientation is only available in the Sharpless Street Parking Structure.  Parking in the Sharpless Street Parking Structure is free, so you do not need to take a ticket (the gate will be lifted).

• If you are coming from the North (Route 100/High Street), you will drive almost completely through West Chester Borough.  You will pass the traffic light at Burger King and then make the next right onto Sharpless Street.  Halfway down the block on the right is the entrance to the Sharpless Street Parking Structure.  Once you have parked, follow the sidewalk back to High Street, turn right, and follow High Street one block to the Philips Memorial Building (looks like a castle, see photo below).
• If you are coming from the South (Route 202/High Street), you will continue to go straight as you pass the stone West Chester University sign on your left at Rosedale Avenue.  at the second street on your left, turn left onto Sharpless Street.  Halfway down the block on the right is the entrance to the Sharpless Street Parking Structure.  Once you have parked, follow the sidewalk back to High Street, turn right, and follow High Street one block to the Philips Memorial Building (looks like a castle, see photo below).

Academic Scheduling Information

Transfer Orientation does not include academic advising or scheduling.  In your acceptance packet you received instructions on how to schedule your classes as well as a listing of academic departments and phone numbers.  It is important that you contact your major department to arrange an advising appointment prior to your Orientation date, if possible.  Please click HERE for a listing of undergraduate programs on the WCU Web site.

For scheduling to be effective, you MUST bring a copy of your credit evaluation and your current course schedule with you to your advising appointment.  If you don't have a credit evaluation, you must bring copies of all your transcripts.
