Anyone going to the June 6-8 orientation?

If so, I’ll see you there! I’m excited but kind of nervous. Will we have to make our way around campus on our own? Because if we do I’m sure I will get lost the first day. Also what documents should we bring with us? Thanks!

Not a fellow orientation person, but you will be led around the first day, and thrown to the wolves for the second/third day ;)). I was late to two meetings last year because I was dumb & didn’t look up where my stuff was beforehand. But it’s not a problem, everyone on campus is more than willing to point out directions (maybe even me, my job takes me wandering campus for about an hour on Mondays & Wednesdays).

As for documents, you should have already submitted your meningitis, but if you haven’t, definitely submit that. I made a friend last year who couldn’t register because she hadn’t submitted hers yet. Also might want to bring copies of AP/dual credit for advising purposes, but that’s not necessary if they have it on file.

Good luck, and you’re going to have a great time being a Longhorn!

There’s a UT app that has GPS. Use that and you won’t get lost. Search the App Store for UT Orientation.

@SlimShadyLady , @PokeyJoe Thank you two for the information! I’m both nervous and excited for orientation! :slight_smile:

You’re welcome! In addition to registration, take advantage of all the opportunities they set up to meet other Longhorns. You’re in for a great time!

Should I skip my trip from june 13th - july 7th so I can attend the early orientation? Or should I just attend the late orientation? I’m just concerned because I don’t know if people will have a head start on registering for classes because they will go to a earlier orientation, thus making limited space for good classes. Btw i’m a transfer student

@jimbob22 if you go to a later session, you’ll get to register earlier in the spring, so don’t skip your trip for that. Definitely not worth it

@SlimShadyLady Making a 4.0 is more important to me. With that being said, I need the best classes I can take in order to have a larger chance on making a higher GPA. I need good classes in the fall. It’s a bit of a dilemma.

There’s a system of limited registration spots per orientation. Earlier orientations don’t necessarily have an advantage of getting into a course.

On a side note, I’m currently working part time on campus, so if anyone wants to chat with a UT student… feel free to contact me by a CC message or something.
