Graduate and Professional Student Orientation

Graduate & Professional Student Orientation

The Office of Graduate & Professional Student Affairs, in collaboration with the College of Dental Medicine, College of Pharmacy, and Westbrook College of Health Professions, offers formal new student orientation programs at the beginning of each academic year.  These programs are designed to provide students with an opportunity to complete important pre-enrollment tasks and obtain practical information concerning the various academic and non-academic resources and requirements of University departments and programs.  Students will participate in a variety of program specific and general interest discussions to become acquainted with their peers, campus culture, the University and the greater Portland community.  All new Portland Campus students are expected to attend their orientation program to foster a successful transition into their program of graduate and/or professional study.
