New Graduate Student Orientation

Welcome to the University of Louisville Graduate School! We are excited you have decided to join us for your graduate education.

The first step in your journey to success is to complete your new graduate student orientation. As a graduate student, you may participate in more than one orientation at UofL: a program orientation, international student orientation and the overarching Graduate School orientation.    

To help you transition to graduate student life, we have put together a series of orientation modules for both our online and on-campus students to supplement your academic department’s orientation. Please review these modules prior to attending our orientation events so that you can let us know any additional questions and concerns you may have. 

Stay tuned for information about our online orientation modules.
