Orientation
Depending on your program or student status, you most likely need to attend one or more Orientation sessions. Here’s what to know.
Graduate student Orientation
Whether you’re new or returning to KU, we encourage you to attend Orientation sessions. In addition to specific Orientation sessions (see below), new Lawrence-campus students admitted for the fall are also invited to attend the university-wide Hawk Week during the first week of fall classes and Graduate Studies sessions the week before fall classes begin. Over these weeks in August, you’ll network with other students and faculty, explore the KU and Lawrence communities, and connect with offices that support graduate students.
New students are also encouraged to watch our Paying for KU video to learn about costs, financial aid options and next steps, as well as how to pay your bill.
