Who Should Attend Orientation?
Attending New Maverick Orientation is a great way to meet new people, learn how to navigate the campus and discover resources that will lead you on a path to success.
New Maverick Orientation sessions are provided for first-time freshmen, transfer students and veterans. Please see below for a detailed description of who should attend each session.
Freshmen Orientation
If you graduated from High School in May/June 2013 you are required to attend freshmen orientation, regardless of the amount of transfer credits you may have earned. Those students participating in the CAP or FIG programs are also required to attend freshman orientation. Students accepted into the FIG program are encouraged to attend the orientation session reserved specifically for them.
Students must be admitted to the University before attending freshmen orientation. See freshman orientation dates.
Transfer Orientation
Transfer orientation is reserve specifically for students who have attended another university (post-high school) and will be transferring earned credits to UT Arlington. All transfer students are required to attend transfer orientation regardless of the amount of credits being transfered.
Students must be admitted to the University before attending transfer orientation. See transfer orientation dates.
Veterans Orientation
The Veterans Orientation is specifically designed for any veterans returning from active duty as well as those who are interested in using the new military education benefits. Students attending college on the GI Bill as dependents of veterans should attend a regular freshman or transfer orientation.
If you are a freshman with an orientation requirement, attending a veteran’s orientation session fulfills that obligation. Because we value your service, there will be no charge for your orientation.
