Spring Training FAQs

Can I still apply to be an Orientation Leader? 

Orientation Leader (OL) applications are now open in winter quarter 2026.  

What is the Spring Training time commitment? 

We ask all attending Spring Training to commit to one weekend of training on either April 25-26, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or May 16-17, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.  

Spring Training will also consist of required online training modules. The time it takes to complete this training may vary based on the content and the pace at which a Leader-in-Training (LIT) completes it. 

I no longer want to be an Orientation Leader. What do I do? 

If you are no longer interested in being an Orientation Leader, please email wow@calpoly.edu stating you would like to be removed from the Orientation Leader training and roster.  

I have not received a confirmation email for submitting my orientation leader app. What do I do? 

Confirmation emails are not automatically sent after an application is submitted. If you would like to check the status of your application, please email wow@calpoly.edu and ask for your application status to be checked.  

I received an email saying my application is incomplete, but I thought I submitted it. What do I do? 

For your Orientation Leader application to be complete, you must click "finish" at the bottom of the very last page, then close out of your web browser. If this step is not completed, your application will not be recorded as submitted. You can also email wow@calpoly.edu with your question, and they can add you to the list of "completed" apps. 

How do I know if my application was fully submitted? 

Confirmation emails are not automatically sent out once you have submitted your application. If you have a question about your application status, please email wow@calpoly.edu and they can check the status of your application. Those who have fully submitted their applications will receive weekly updates (at a minimum) via email from NSTP regarding Spring Training.
