Adult and Transfer Students

Welcome

Congratulations on your acceptance to The University of Toledo!

We are very excited that you have chosen to pursue your education at UT. Our goal is to ensure that you have the necessary tools and information to successfully transition to UT. The first step towards success begins with orientation!

As an admitted adult or transfer student, you have the option of completing orientation online or attending an orientation program on campus. An on campus orientation is a one-day program where students will have the opportunity to pick up a student ID (Rocket Card), meet with an academic adviser, register for courses, and learn about the many opportunities that UT offers both inside and outside of the classroom.

Make sure you carefully read all the information below, which will guide you through the orientation registration process. 

1. Activate your UTAD account.

2. Log in to the myUT Portal and click on "Orientation" in the blue bar of the New Student tab. Next, click on the sticky note icon to enter the orientation reservation system. 

3.  You will have two options to complete the orientation requirement in the reservation system: complete orientation online or select and register for an orientation to attend on UT Main Campus.

4. Call your college to determine required placement testing. Complete all required placement tests prior to attending orientation or meeting with an academic adviser. 

5. If completing orientation online, you will need to schedule an advising appointment with your admitted college at UT to register for classes. If attending orientation in-person, you will be advised and register for classes at the program.

6.  Submit your photo online in order to obtain your Student ID (Rocket Card). If attending orientation in person, you will be able to pick up your Student ID at the program. If completing orientation online, you will need to pick up your Student ID from the ID Office (Student Union, Rm 1550).

7.  Review several Treasurer Office forms (FERPA Consent, Title IV Consent, Direct Deposit Authorization, Transfer Excess Financial Aid to the Rocket Card) located on the New Student tab in the myUT Portal.

On behalf of The University of Toledo campus community, we welcome you and look forward to meeting you at orientation. Please feel free to call the Office of New Student Orientation Programs at 419.530.1267 or toll-free at 877.752.0005 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Office of New Student Orientation Programs
