First-Year Orientation
Welcome to Carnegie Mellon University, undergraduate first-year and transfer students!
First-Year Orientation 2022 will take place August 20-28.
First-Year Orientation supports new students in a successful transition to Carnegie Mellon. Our summer communications and programs, combined with our week-long First-Year Orientation program, introduce incoming undergraduate students to our inclusive and caring campus community. Our First-Year Orientation program is a dynamic and engaging experience that will help new students build the foundation for academic success, community membership, well-being, campus involvement and pride in being a Tartan.
Academic Orientation Webinars
Prior to your arrival in Pittsburgh, each academic college and school will offer an Orientation webinar for incoming students and their family members. These webinars will introduce information about your transition to CMU and resources in your college or school. We highly encourage you to attend by signing onto the webinar via the links that will be provided in the August 1 edition of the Talking Tartan newsletter. Sessions will be recorded for students and families who are unable to attend the live sessions.
