New Students

All new graduate students are required to attend the general graduate orientation, which is coordinated by the Graduate School. All new teaching assistants (new domestic and international), and current students awarded a teaching assistantship for the first time must attend these sessions.

Fall entrants will be invited to a general orientation in August; if you are a spring entrant, you will be invited to a January orientation.

Many departments/schools offer additional orientation activities. Please contact your department directly regarding your expected arrival date. If you are enrolling for the summer term, orientation will be offered by your department.

The fall general graduate orientation for all new students was held on Thursday, August 27, 2009 in Darrin Communications Center (DCC) Room 308 - 9:00am-12:00pm.

The spring general orientation and TA training for all new students will be held on Friday, January 22, 2010.
