To assist students in making a smooth transition to life as a wolverine, we have designed a hybrid orientation experience in 2022. This means that every student will have virtual and in-person components as part of their orientation experience. These components include:

Virtual Orientation Experience: Prior to their advising date, students will have access to a virtual orientation course designed to set the foundation for the Michigan experience, build familiarity with resources, and prepare students to have a successful academic advising conversation.
Testing, Advising and Registration for Classes: Students will complete online placement exams required by their academic unit and participate in a virtual academic advising day with staff from their respective school or college.
Welcome to Michigan In-Person Experience: At the end of August, as incoming students arrive on campus, they will participate in a robust day of orientation programming. This orientation day will include opportunities to get to know other new students, become familiar with our campus, participate in small group discussions, and learn more about resources and topics of interest. We will also offer programming for the parents and families of our new students during this time as well. These activities will flow seamlessly into the Welcome to Michigan program, a collection of large scale events and activities meant to expose students to Michigan traditions and allow them to connect with other new students and our campus community.

If you have any questions about the student orientation process, please email the Office of New Student Programs at onsp@umich.edu.
