UWW Interdisciplinary Studies Fall 2026 New Student Orientation

Our fall 2026 orientation is offered in two virtual formats: a two-hour in-depth meeting and a one-hour essentials meeting. Choose which option you prefer, then submit the RSVP form. Please let us know if your plans change.

New student orientation is required, so if neither day works for you, please email us for an alternative way to review the materials.

To attend either meeting, sign in to Zoom with your UMass email and password, and download the application if you haven’t yet. Click on the event link 5 minutes before the start time to make sure everything’s working.
