Orientation at UMass Dartmouth

Welcome New Corsairs!

We’re so excited that you have joined the Corsair Family! Orientation programs are designed to welcome new students, parents, and families to the UMass Dartmouth community.

We have carefully planned sessions to offer a range of perspectives on life at UMassD, in addition to giving you an opportunity to live on campus, connect with other students, and learn about campus resources and information that will be helpful to you and your family during your university experience. See dates and deadlines for session schedule.
