Freshman Orientation

August 22-26, 2008

The purpose of Freshman Orientation is to enable new students to become competent, self-reliant learners who are devoted to and engaged in their higher education experience.

In support of this mission, Freshman Orientation will inform new students of campus policies and procedures, help with the academic and social transition to higher education, prepare students to make reasoned and well-informed choices, and foster a sense of community by acclimating individuals to the UT Tyler campus and the Tyler community.
