This is where you get your orientation started.
Welcome to the University of Baltimore. Winter 2013 Freshman Orientation is designed to assist new students in acclimating to UB. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the campus, academics and student services. In addition, you will have the opportunity to network with other incoming spring 2013 students and get to know UB faculty, staff and students.
The Winter New Student Orientation program is designed to meet your needs in an half-day program. Freshman students are asked to arrive by 12:00 p.m. to take placement tests*, advise and register for classes. University offices will be open for questions and tours of campus will be given for students during the afternoon. The evening orientation session begins at 5:00 p.m. with a complimentary dinner.
