At Puget Sound, Passages is the community experience for all new and transfer students entering Puget Sound. The program is designed to introduce students to the intellectual life at Puget Sound, connect them with their peers, student leaders, faculty, and staff members, and help them feel comfortable using university resources. 

Passages is chock-full of orientation activities to assist new students in their transition to Puget Sound and the academic year ahead.  Activities include academic advising, an academic fair, music auditions, sessions on using the university library, and applying for campus employment. Students will connect with communities and issues that matter to them at the Cultural, Spiritual, and Social Identities Expo and join their Passages Group on a day-and-a-half to three-day immersive experience. To participate, students register and rank their top immersive experiences. Students who have completed their deposit may complete the registration for Passages via their To-Do list in their myPugetSound portal.
