Graduate New Student Orientations

Each graduate program hosts a program-specific orientation prior to the start of classes. These orientations are a time to meet with your program director and faculty, meet your classmates, learn about student support services, receive your student handbook, obtain your student ID/library card, obtain your campus parking permit, purchase textbooks and in some cases, register for classes.

After admission to your graduate program, you will receive an email invitation with details regarding your graduate program orientation.

Questions regarding graduate student orientation can be directed to your graduate admission counselor.
