Is the transfer orientation mandatory?

Hey guys I got into UT for the fall 2016 semester but I’m currently taking summer classes at my current university and it would be really hard for me to make the june/july orientations. I want to sign up for classes ASAP so is it mandatory that I go to transfer orientation or can I call them and opt out and register online, then meet my adviser and upgrade my account later.

There is an Aug. 16th orientation for those who can’t attend June/July orientation, you might want to look into it. It says you will register for classes on Aug.19th. You can register for it starting July 13th thru Aug.7th
