New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation is key to every student's successful transition to UTA. By the end of orientation, our goal for you is that you feel prepared, empowered, and know that you belong at UTA.

We encourage students and families to carefully review the schedules included in their orientation emails for any updates or schedule changes.

Check-in is located at the Maverick Activities Center (MAC). You can find directions here.
For FTIC Two-Day orientation sessions, check-in begins at 10 A.M. For all other orientation sessions, check-in begins at 8 A.M.
