New Graduate Student Orientation

New Graduate Student Orientation

To ease incoming the graduate students’ transition to UD, we invite all new graduate students to participate in New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO), a hybrid experience including both virtual and in-person components designed to introduce them to the UD Graduate community, help them learn everything you need to know to be successful and welcome them to UD!

The NGSO Experience(s) Includes:

  • An in-person orientation program held on-campus on August 20, 2024.
  • A Resource Fair introducing you to the many University services and Graduate Student Organizations on campus
  • Departmental /program orientation (Please contact your department for more information)
  • A self-paced online orientation course through Canvas, UD’s Learning Management System (Virtual)

Any questions about the New Graduate Student Orientation can be directed to grad@udel.edu.
