Orientation!

Hey! I have orientation next Monday, June 15th & I was wondering what are some advice or what you wished you knew before orientation? I’m a shy person and have anxiety when going to a crowed place, so I’m really nervous about next Monday. I don’t even know where to check in & what to do afterward.

Also, I heard that we will be given a meal card. I know it’s called a meal card, but is the card usable on UT Merch at the Co-Op store? Just to confirm. All answers are appreciate!

I’m going to the same orientation! Download the UT Orientation App on your phone because it tells you everything, including a schedule and locations. I heard the card is usable at the Co-Op.

My #1 tip is to get there as early as you can for check in. We got there at 8:30 am and were still waiting in lines to check in at 10. Also, the material says bringing a laptop is “optional” but it’s very hard to register without one. My son’s registration room did not have any workstations so everyone had to use their personal laptop.
