BEACON BEGINNINGS: ORIENTATION FOR NEW STUDENTS
So this is where you begin!
This summer you’ll step into your new shoes as a UMass Boston student at new student orientation—Beacon Beginnings!
You can look forward to a full orientation program, including fun social activities, registering for your fall classes, meeting professors and fellow new students, and getting a more inside look at the campus itself.
But first, you may need to complete a skills assessment so our advisors will be able to better help you register for courses during your orientation. Testing sessions began at the end of April.
>> Take your next steps towards becoming a UMass Boston student![]()

You’re on the road to new friends, new learning, new adventures, and new heights!
Have you paid your New Student Deposit to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions yet? You must submit $200 prior to attending orientation. Don't forget!
