Get a good start to your first semester at UT as a graduate student with our fall orientations.

Orientations 2026

The Graduate School is excited to provide an onboarding experience that is entirely online and asynchronous. Incoming graduate students will have the opportunity to engage with that onboarding experience at their own time and on their own schedule. The Graduate School will be emailing incoming graduate students with more details as they become available.

For anyone who will be starting fall 2026 as a graduate teaching assistant or associate, we will be offering a New Graduate Teaching Assistant/Associate Orientation on August 13. This will be a virtual session taking place from 9am-noon on that day. More information on registering for that session and getting access will be provided soon.
