New Student Orientation

WHAT WE DO

Orientation exists to assist new undergraduate students (freshmen and transfers) and their families by supporting their transition to life as a part of the UM community – academically, socially and culturally. Your orientation experience will provide the opportunity to complete the enrollment process by registering for classes, as well as meet classmates, faculty, staff, administration, and learn about campus resources and services that will help you become successful while you’re here.
