Complete an online experience to set you up for a successful spring semester.
Please check back in October for information about Winter Orientation in 2025. Use the 2024 Winter Orientation details below as a reference for what to expect.
Winter Orientation is foundational at the beginning of your UB journey and required for all new students. You will complete this requirement in January through Online Modules, an asynchronous program designed to get you started with understanding academic expectations, planning for out-of-classroom experiences, and hearing from other UB students. You'll also learn about UB's campuses and the many resources available to you as a new student.
We look forward to welcoming you to UB!
The new student fee covers all expenses associated with starting at UB, including orientation, Winter Welcome and academic planning.
Complete these tasks before you arrive on campus. View all items to complete on the New Student Checklist.
All new students are expected to attend Winter Welcome. The program will help you get to know your new university, including academic expectations and helpful on-campus resources. You will also connect with other new students and hear from current students.
Winter Welcome is an on-campus experience January 22-23.
