Orientation Part 1: Academic Advising Webinars

These webinars, taking place from August 8 - 14, 2024, will help prepare you for academics at UCSD with information on course registration, academic plans, transfer credits, and much more. You'll be able to get your advising questions answered and get to know our ERC academic advisors. These sessions will be offered in early August with information on registration to be sent out as we approach that time.

Orientation Part 2: In-Person Orientation

In-person orientation sessions will be offered on September 19 and 22, 2024. This will be during move-in for housing and during welcome week. Students should select an orientation session that does not interfere with any travel plans. In-person sessions are mandatory for incoming students. The in-person sessions offer opportunities to connect with other students, get oriented with the community, and participate in engaging activities.
