We host New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO) at the beginning of every semester to welcome new graduate and professional students to graduate community and the larger Aggie Family. NGSO gives us a chance to introduce you to the Graduate and Professional School and other important services and resources on our campus that support your success. It also gives you a chance to meet other incoming graduate students. It's informative, fun, and (oh yeah!) you could win prizes.  

NGSO is open to incoming Aggie graduate students only. If you are joining our community for a graduate or professional program, look out for invites via email.  

SPRING 2025 NEW GRADUATE STUDENT ORIENTATION

The spring 2025 NGSO will be held on Friday, January 10, 2025, 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.

NGSO is an optional event open to students starting a degree program in spring 2025. You will receive an invitation to register via email. 

Note: Some departments and colleges have a separate orientation for their new graduate students. For information on departmental or college orientations that provide details for specific graduate programs or majors, check with your graduate advisor or other department staff.

Spring 2025 New Distance Graduate Student Orientation

A virtual orientation is available for distance education graduate students.

• Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, 6pm-7:30pm

Like NGSO, NDGSO is an optional event open to distance students starting a degree program in spring 2025. You will receive an invitation to register via email. The virtual meeting information will be sent to you following registration.

Note: Some departments and colleges have a separate orientation for their new graduate students. For information on departmental or college orientations that provide details for specific graduate programs or majors, check with your graduate advisor or other department staff. Additionally, distance students can attend the in-person NGSO on Friday, January 10th, 2025, instead of the NDGSO virtual orientation. You must register to attend, due to limited space.
