We look forward to welcoming you for your On-campus Experience.

Students: Orientation invite emails are sent to your U-M email, so be sure you have created a uniqname after paying your enrollment deposit. These emails were sent starting in late April. However, if you recently paid your enrollment deposit or created your uniqname, expect to receive your invite about a week afterward. You can read more about how to register as a first-year student or transfer student for your Virtual Academic Advising date and your one-day On-campus Experience.

Please do not make travel arrangements prior to receiving a confirmation of your registration for your On-campus Experience.
