Transition, congratulations on your admission to the University of Utah! Your Utah Bound Orientation experience is designed to help you build community, connect you with campus resources, teach you about your new home, and answer all of your questions or concerns. We know your decision to attend the University of Utah was not one you made lightly, and whether you are 5 or 5,000 miles from home, we hope your Utah Bound Orientation session will instill a love for the U, provide you with a sense of home in your new community, and ignite your inner Utah Fan!</p> <p>Let鈥檚 chat about your Utah Bound Orientation experience! Your required Utah Bound Orientation will help you build community by placing you in a small group of new incoming students guided by an upper-class student, also known as an Orientation Leader. 聽Orientation Leaders are a hand-selected group of students trained to prepare you for your first year and transition you from high school to college. 聽They are intimately familiar with the University of Utah and, as such, will provide opportunities to connect you with peers, hundreds of student resources and clubs, and help you discover your passions and extracurricular pursuits. 聽Additionally, they will support you in planning your first semester class schedule, alongside representatives from your Academic College.</p> <p>Your new home sits on 1,534 acres of endless possibility. The U offers incredible opportunities and resources, including award-winning faculty and distinguished staff, state of the art buildings, nationally recognized athletics and the Mighty Utah Student Section (MUSS), an 18:1 student-to-faculty ratio, countless student involvement opportunities, and newly recognized Big 12 energy. We were also recently ranked #1 Public University in the West! At the end of your Utah Bound Orientation experience, you will know that the University of Utah is truly the place for U.</p> <p>Congratulations on achieving this impressive milestone. 聽We can鈥檛 wait to meet you at your Utah Bound Orientation!</p> </div> <div> <p>Go Utah!</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-218" src="https://orientation.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2024/11/BlockU_redweb.jpg" alt="" width="50" height="46" /></p> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-67-1" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" ><div id="pgc-67-1-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-67-1-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="1" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p class="header-line bold utah-red" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Register for Utah Bound Orientation</p> <p><a class="button" href="https://orientation.utah.edu/first-year/welcome/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Register Now</a></p> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-67-2" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" ><div id="pgc-67-2-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-67-2-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child" data-index="2" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p class="header-line bold utah-red" style="margin-bottom: 1em"><span class="fa-solid fa-square-check default-size" aria-hidden="true" title=""></span> Before Utah Bound Orientation Check List</p> </div> </div></div><div id="panel-67-2-0-1" class="so-panel widget widget_uu-accordion-widget panel-last-child" data-index="3" ><div class="so-widget-uu-accordion-widget so-widget-uu-accordion-widget-default-d75171398898-67" > <div class="uu-vert-accordion-theme3-container uu-tabs-container" role="region"> <ul>  <li class="uu-accordion-item " id="uu_accordion_67e61a1ee697c" > <button type="button" name="uu_accordion_67e61a1ee697c" class="uu-accordion-btn" data-target="uu_accordion_67e61a1ee697c" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="uu_accordion_67e61a1ee697c_content" aria-label="Toggle Login to UMail" tabindex="0"> <span>Login to UMail</span> </button> <div class="uu-accordion-content" id="uu_accordion_67e61a1ee697c_content" role="region" tabindex="1"> <p>Login to your University email.
