Spring 2025 New Graduate Student Orientation*

Welcome to NJIT! We are pleased you will be joining us this Spring!

The New Graduate Student Orientation has two components. An in-person orientation will be held on January 28, 2025, and an email invitation for this event will be sent to all new graduate students. A second component of the Spring 2025 Orientation is offered as a self-guided online orientation, which provides information about the resources available to you as a graduate student at NJIT. It will summarize graduate policies and procedures and provide guidance for success in your studies. 

Activate your NJIT UCID to confirm attendance for this upcoming Spring. You will need a NJIT UCID in order to access the self-guided online orientation. Remember that your NJIT ID is different from your 8-digit Student ID Number.

An in-person orientation will be held on January 28, 2025, and an email invitation will be sent to all new graduate students.

We are here to help you succeed at NJIT!

*Please note: Incoming international students will also have a separate virtual orientation hosted by the Office of Global Initiatives.
