Welcome, future Class of 2023! We're excited for you to join the Longhorn family.

The next step in your journey is to attend UT Orientation, where you'll learn your way around campus, meet with an academic advisor, spend time with other incoming students and register for classes. It’s all at orientation, and it’s required for incoming students.
