Graduate Orientation provides new students with general information about graduate policies and procedures and an opportunity to get to know UGS staff, university departments and graduate student organizations. All Graduate Orientation events provide a forum for asking questions related to graduate-specific services.

Graduate Orientation is highly encouraged and open to all new graduate students admitted for the Fall 2025 term.

Some academic units may also hold their own departmental orientations. Please contact your academic program for more information.
