About Veteran Student Life Orientation

Each Fall and Spring semester, Veteran Student Life hosts an orientation exclusively for incoming student veterans, including freshmen, transfer, and graduate student veterans. The orientation covers topics such as health insurance, veteran benefits, scholarships, academic support services, recreational activities, and professional development. Incoming students are also able to meet representatives from a number of departments around campus.

Additionally, attending Veterans and Military-Connected Orientation is a great way to meet other incoming student veterans going through the same transition as you and current student veterans who just made this transition recently. Our orientation is planned and led by veterans for veterans. Breakfast will be provided. For those that are unable to attend the event, a video will be posted below after the event so that you are not missing out on any info.

This is not the same as your freshmen or transfer school orientation which you are still required to attend.

Please email vetstudentlife@umd.edu if you have questions or would like to sign up for the New Veteran Orientation Session this January.
