Welcome New Students!

Welcome and congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Arizona. We are thrilled that you will be joining our Wildcat Family!

As a new student at the University of Arizona (UA), you are bound to have questions. We design New Student Orientation around you, helping to uncover the answers to the questions you have, and providing you information about campus resources, programs and services. By the time you complete orientation, you will be on your way to becoming a successful Wildcat.

Orientation is an opportunity for you to learn how to navigate the university and introduce you to the Wildcat community. During the program, you will begin to build a network of resources that will help you to start your UA journey on the right path.

We look forward to hosting you at your New Student Orientation!

Coronavirus information - During this time, your health and the health of our University of Arizona community is our utmost concern. Following CDC recommendations and in an abundance of caution for you, your family and others, we have made the decision to move our Spring and Summer 2021 Orientation Sessions to digital format.  Information and updates concerning affected sessions will be sent to the students' CatMail.
