Orientation

New Student Orientation is held before the start of Fall Quarter classes. All aspects of The Graduate School's orientation are suggested, not required. New Student Orientation can help new students learn about the resources available to them and connect them with a wider community of support at Northwestern. 

For incoming international students, we also offer ELP Foundations. This Summer Quarter orientation programming is designed to ease the transition to Northwestern and the United States.
