New Student Orientation

At the beginning of each fall and spring term, we hold an international student orientation. During this required orientation, you'll meet students from all over the world who have chosen to study at UMass Dartmouth. 

You'll learn about the university and life in the U.S.

One of the most important things we do at Orientation is review the regulations for maintaining your visa status.

At Orientation, we'll also:

  • Welcome you to campus
  • Introduce you to the culture
  • Share information about university services
  • Inform you about university policy
  • And encourage you to make new friends!
