Welcome to the University of Delaware! In addition to the live event on August 25th, there is also the Graduate Student Orientation site on Canvas that consists of a series of online modules created by the UD Graduate College in partnership with students, staff, and faculty from across the University. It will provide you with a variety of tools and information to help you “Get Connected” to UD and succeed right from the start.
These modules are accessible at any time, day or night, and you can work through them at your own pace. Pick and choose the topics that interest you or are most relevant at the time. You can return to them as often as you would like. Get the most out of this site by using it in preparation for your start of the school year but know that it will be available throughout the semester.
This site is designed to inform you about the nuts and bolts of being a student, such as obtaining your student ID card, enrolling in health insurance, registering for classes, and paying for tuition and fees. It also familiarizes you with campus, UD’s diverse community, and the many resources available for your academic success, safety, and well-being. Additionally, we have provided advice on what to expect about the culture of graduate school in general and important updates about how the University is creating a safe, supportive, and rewarding learning environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
