New Graduate Student Orientation

    Spring 2024 New Graduate Student Orientation

    We are excited to have you join the graduate student community at UofL and look forward to connecting with you. As you begin your graduate education, we want to make sure that you have all the tools you might need to get started. So, we’ve provided you with a short checklist to help you:

    Spring 2024 New Graduate Student Online Orientation Module

    COMPLETE your Spring 2024 New Graduate Student Orientation Module before classes begin. There may be multiple UofL orientations in which you will participate – a program orientation, international student orientation, and the over-arching Graduate School orientation (this one). While there may be some redundancy, most of the orientation sessions will cover separate material. For the Graduate School, we invite you to complete the module that best matches how you are coming to your Graduate education:

    Spring 2024 New Graduate Student Orientation: this is the standard orientation that most of you will complete.

    Spring 2024 New Graduate Student Orientation for ONLINE ONLY graduate students: this is for graduate students who are in an online-only or primarily online program.

    Spring 2024 New Graduate Student Orientation for RECENT UofL UNDERGRADUATES: this is for graduate students who have graduated from UofL within the last 3-4 years.

    Parking Information

    Free parking is available n the Floyd St. Garage (across the street from McDonalds, see map here). The parking gates should be up and you can enter and park in any of the “blue” spaces. You can then walk across the pedestrian bridge over the train tracks. The Shumaker Research Building is straight ahead. You'll walk between the Student Activities Center (SAC) and the Houchens Building, veer slightly to your left to the left side of the building, and the entrance doors to the building will be up ahead.
