New Graduate Student In-Person Orientation
New Graduate Student In-Person Orientation gives new graduate students an opportunity to learn more about faculty expectations, connect with Graduate School staff, identify resources for student success, meet other new and returning graduate students from across all disciplines, and become a part of the UofL graduate student community!
Free parking will be available in the 3rd Street South Lot behind the J.B. Speed School of Engineering. Paid parking is available closer to Orientation in the Speed Art Museum garage and in the visitor side of the Floyd Street Garage. Please allow extra time to park and walk to Strickler Hall for Orientation.
Note: if you try to enter campus along First Street, you will be turned away as this passage is reserved for Move-In.
