Congratulations and Welcome to the University of New Haven!
Orientation is hosted at the beginning of each term for new graduate and international students. The program provides students with an overview of the services and resources available to them at the University of New Haven, a demonstration of how to navigate the school's online systems, information on where to obtain your University of New Haven Campus Card ID and parking permit and, most importantly, the opportunity to meet other students new to the program.
Graduate and International Student Life (GISL) is the primary resource for graduate and international students at the University of New Haven. As a UNewHaven student, you have access to many support services. The office provides personal support, including navigating campus life and adapting to student life in the United States. The GISL staff can also help you communicate with support services if you encounter cultural or language barriers. All below information and schedule content is subject to change.
