Congratulations on your decision to attend the University of California, Merced! Joining the UC Merced community will provide you with fulfilling, exciting, and fun academic and personal experiences. In order to make a smooth transition, your next step is to attend New Student Orientation.

At Orientation you will have the opportunity to receive assistance in selecting your fall classes, tour the campus, and get to know other new students.  Orientation is also a time to address any questions you have for university staff, faculty, and administration. Attending Orientation is essential to a successful beginning at UC Merced.
