Graduate and Professional Student Orientation
As a new student in the College of Dental Medicine or Westbrook College of Health Professions, you will participate in a formal orientation program on campus, offered at the start of the academic year.
This is a time to get your pre-enrollment tasks out of the way and to participate in a variety of programs and discussions to become acquainted with your colleagues, 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.
