UWF Graduate School Orientation

New Graduate Student Orientation

Orientation for new graduate students takes place at the start of each semester. The orientation provides newly admitted graduate students with an overview of University services and extracurricular opportunities and an understanding of what to expect academically and financially as UWF graduate students.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to hear from current graduate students, the Graduate Student Association, other campus organizations, as well as receive information on how to purchase text books, parking permits and your nautilus card.

The flexible, new online platform allows you to attend orientation 100% online, at your own convenience.
