Orientation Advising

Newly admitted UT students are required to attend orientation. During your orientation session, you will meet with an advisor, individually or in a group, to be advised on your classes specific to your first semester. You will register for your courses at orientation. Our advisors do not meet with new students until their orientation date. You can find out more information on the Admissions website on transfer orientation and freshman orientation.
