ONLINE ORIENTATION

An online orientation may be used in rare circumstances to satisfy the orientation requirement. Our online program will introduce you to the UT Arlington campus and help you learn about valuable campus resources and involvement opportunities. The online orientation program is designed for students whose travel to campus is difficult or impossible (such as active duty military members, out-of-state students, etc.). UTA believes that if you are attending classes on our campus, the most beneficial orientation for you will be one of our on-campus programs. Therefore, online orientation requests for busy lifestyles or work are not approved.

TRANSFER ORIENTATION

Many veteran students choose to attend a traditional transfer orientation. However, please be aware that you will be charged the traditional $60 orientation fee for attending a Transfer Orientation. Visit the Transfer Orientation page, for more information.
