Go Blue Orientation is a hybrid experience involving both virtual and in-person components for all students. All steps of Go Blue Orientation are required for new students.
Go Blue Orientation consists of three main components: preadvising activities and virtual placement exams, Virtual Academic Advising, and a one-day On-campus Experience.
You will be invited to register for Go Blue Orientation via your U-M email in April (summer and fall admits) or November (winter term admits).

If you are an F-1 or J-1 student, you may have additional steps to take prior to or once you are on campus as required by the International Center. Please be sure to check your U-M email regularly for more information on any additional requirements.
