IT'S TIME TO GET
#WILDCATREADY

Cactus icon 2

HEY, NEW WILDCAT!

The Virtual Orientation Experience is the first – and maybe most important – step as you transition to the University of Arizona. Get ready to learn about the institution that you will soon call home. This includes everything from understanding campus resources, to learning about student life, to ultimately deciding what courses are right for your first semester!

Ask questions, explore, and remember that your time at the university is yours to shape. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
