Fall 2022 Entry FAQs

Husky 101 Student and Family Orientation is a 2-part, hybrid experience: 1) Online Curriculum and 2) Boston Campus Experience. Both components are mandatory for newly enrolled first-year, transfer, and veteran undergraduate students. Though Husky 101 Orientation is optional for families, we highly encourage participation.

Graduate students should contact their Graduate Program for information about graduate orientation.

From late-May through mid-June, students will receive communication directly from their college/program to complete pre-online academic advising.

Academic advising questions can be directed to your college/program.

Housing assignments, roommate information, and move-in dates will be communicated to students in July. Housing questions can be directed to Housing and Residential Life.
