Fall 2022 (August) Information for transfer students starting Fall 2022.

Your fUTure starts here! Online Orientation is now open.

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 2022 is now available. You can access online orientation through your MyUTampa account, and it must be completed prior to your arrival on campus.

New Student Residents

Residential move-in for new students will be taking place Aug. 24—26. The Office of Residence Life will share additional information regarding room assignments and how to sign up for a move-in appointment in July. Once students arrive on campus, they are encouraged to participate in Week of Welcome (WOW!) from Aug. 26—Sept. 5.

New Student Commuters

New Student Commuter Check-In

New students who will be living off-campus will need to check in to orientation to receive their Spartan ID card and other important information. Check-in for new commuter students will take place Wednesday, Aug. 24, through Friday, Aug. 26. Check-in will take place on the second floor of the Vaughn Center, in the Spartan Club. Check-in will be from 3-7 p.m. Please note: New students living off-campus will not be able to check-in prior to Aug. 24 at 3 p.m.

New Student Commuter Tips and Tricks Video

The University recognizes that commuter students have different needs as they transition to campus than residential students. Commuter students are encouraged to view the New Student Commuter Tips and Trick video in addition to completing the online orientation. The video will be available here starting Aug 15.

Fall 2022 Week of Welcome

Week of Welcome (WOW!) is designed specifically to help our new students as they transition to the University. The Fall 2022 Week of Welcome will take place Aug. 26—Sept. 5 and the schedule will be released in early August.

Live Virtual New Student Q&A Session

The Orientation Live Q&A Chat recording is now available. Students who were unable to attend the program are strongly encouraged to view the recording as you prepare to arrive on campus.
