    New Student Orientation | Master's, Certificate and Certification Students

    Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at 6:00 PM until 7:30 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00



    We are excited to welcome you to Montclair State University as a new graduate student! Please join us for a virtual orientation to get acquainted with life as a graduate student at MSU. This session will include an introduction to The Graduate School staff and a review of important academic policies and procedures and helpful campus resources. We will also discuss the Orientation course in Canvas that you will be invited to join, which will include even more resources, including presentations from the Office of Financial Aid and The Writing Center, that you can review at your own pace.  

    Each session will be limited to the first 300 registrants and will last approximately 90 minutes including a live question and answer session with staff from The Graduate School. Please note that orientation is designed for those who have enrolled in at least one class for the fall semester. If you have not yet registered for classes for the fall semester, please do so as soon as possible via NEST.

    In addition, we encourage you to attend any program specific orientation sessions that your academic department or Graduate Program Coordinator (GPC) may offer.
