New Student Orientation

Your life changes when you enter college. Your days will soon be even busier and filled with new challenges, priorities and activities. Students who become familiar with their campus, the faculty and staff, and available resources enhance their chances for success. Students admitted to UALR will receive an email invitation, at the email address provided on the admission application, to complete online orientation or attend orientation on campus. If you attend onsite orientation, please park in Lot 12 or the parking garage. For questions, please contact the Office of Campus Life at 501.569.3308.
