About Graduate Orientation
Spring 2021
As a new graduate student, we want your transition to the UNT campus to be a positive experience. To help with this process, we have put together an online orientation to help acquaint you with the many campus resources and students services available to you as a new student.

Complete the "Graduate Online Orientation" course via Canvas, UNT's online learning platform. You can access Canvas at learn.unt.edu by logging in with your campus EUID and password.

During this session, you will get to hear from campus administrators and student services that will aid in your success as a graduate student. The schedule can be found on "schedule" tab.
