Orientation

Whether you are a freshman, transfer student, commuter or an international student, the orientation programs are designed to help you learn your way around campus, discover ways to get involved in student life, meet faculty and staff and make new friends.

Special sessions are offered just for transfer students, Honors Program students, Gateways freshmen, post-baccalaureate students and students returning to UT. Attendance is required. International freshmen and transfer students on visas will arrive for a special orientation prior to the regular new student orientation program. Activities for parents and other family members are also featured.

For information about orientation, contact the director of student conduct and orientation, (813) 258-7228, Fax (813) 258-7382 or email orientation@ut.edu.
