Orientation is a two-day program required of all new UVM students and offers academic advising, course and residence hall selection, and other services designed to make your beginning at UVM the best it can be.
Students select an Orientation session based on the academic unit to which they have been admitted.
The activities which are planned will acquaint you with The University of Vermont and all that we have to offer. During the program, you will meet other new students, register for classes and learn about UVM not only from the faculty and staff, but from your Orientation Staff and a team of student Orientation Leaders. The Orientation Leaders are currently enrolled students who are specially trained to answer your questions. During the session you attend, you will spend time with Orientation Leaders, faculty advisors, and other new students living on your residence hall floor. Once you pay your admissions deposit, you will receive information from the Office of Orientation and Parent Relations regarding the Orientation programs.
