Orientation

Be prepared for Orientation

Make sure you are up-to-date with requirements and assignments on the fall accepted student checklist or spring accepted student checklist.

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.

Consistent with the growing consensus of colleges and universities across the country, UMass Dartmouth will require all residential and commuter students to be fully vaccinated, and receive a booster when eligible, against COVID-19 prior to the beginning of living, learning or visiting any UMassD campus or property.
