Reminder: Graduate student orientation online course available

The Office of Graduate Studies has developed a series of online, asynchronous orientation modules for new students. These modules are presented in a Canvas course that is now active and available to the public. Newly admitted students are notified directly of orientation by Graduate Studies and provided links, instructions, etc.

These course modules contain 120 individual pages and over 200 links to resources, services, and information useful for students coming to campus for Spring or studying at a distance.

  • Module 1: Welcome to the University
  • Module 2: Getting to Know UNL
  • Module 3: Life in Lincoln & Nebraska
  • Module 4: Being a Graduate Student
  • Module 5: Diversity & Inclusion
  • Module 6: Health & Wellness
  • Module 7: Resources for a Successful Year
  • Module 8: Special Considerations for International Students
Graduate Studies recommends all new students complete the course and bookmark it for future reference. Returning students will also find this course a useful source of information and are encouraged to explore it, as well.

Newly admitted students will receive a direct link to the course, but it can also be accessed via the Welcome Events page.
