Welcome to the University of Michigan-Flint! New Student Orientation is a required program to support you as you transition to the university. Through orientation, you will learn about the academic environment and expectations, become familiar with campus resources and services, and prepare to work with your advisor on a degree plan and class registration.

Simply register for Orientation in the Student Information System (SIS) under the New Students Menu tab, and we will communicate next steps to you via your umich.edu email address.
