New Graduate Student Orientation

Fall 2025 New Graduate Student Orientation will be held in-person at the McKimmon Center on August 15. Students with the last name of A-L will attend the morning session from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Students with the last name of M-Z will attend the afternoon session from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. The information fair will be from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and is open to all incoming students.

All newly enrolled graduate students will receive an email with full details on June 18. The following students DO NOT attend in-person orientation and, therefore, will not get the June 18 email: MBA, MAC, distance, and certificate students.

A separate email will be sent in mid-August with details of the asynchronous online portion of new student orientation. The asynchronous online portion is open to ALL graduate students and is not available until August 16.
