Congratulations, Spartans, and welcome to your new home at The University of Tampa!

UT is dedicated to making your transition one of a kind and offers orientation programs designed to help first-year, transfer, commuter, and international students successfully transition to our community. Throughout your orientation, you will be exposed to many valuable resources, interact with various campus student leaders and participate in social experiences to begin making new connections with fellow Spartans.

Your future starts here! Complete Your Online Orientation Program!

As a new student, you will have the opportunity to get to know your campus prior to your arrival by completing UT's online orientation program. This program has been specifically designed with YOU in mind! From navigating academics to getting involved on campus, this program will help you familiarize yourself with the many resources available to you as a Spartan. The online orientation program for all new incoming students (residents, commuters and transfers) starting in Fall 2024 will become available on Aug. 1. You can access online orientation through your MyUTampa account, and it must be completed prior to your arrival on campus.

Fall 2024 Week of Welcome

Week of Welcome (WOW!) is designed specifically to help our new students as they transition to the University and we are excited to welcome our new Spartans to campus! The Fall 2024 Week of Welcome will take place from Friday, Aug. 23, to Monday, Sept. 2.

Our Week of Welcome schedule is made available through the Guidebook app. This interactive app allows you to set your own schedule, view Tampa weather, find important campus contact information, receive event changes in real-time and more!

The Fall 2024 Week of Welcome schedule will be available via Guidebook in December! Download Guidebook via Google Play or the App Store. Once the app is downloaded search The University of Tampa Office of Orientation and Family Engagement to download our guide space to access the schedule. 

Live Virtual New Student Q&A Session

Transitioning to college life can be tough—but our staff and student leaders are here for support! Details regarding the Fall 2024 Summer Virtual Session will be made available in early June.
