UC Berkeley New Graduate Student Orientation 2023

UC Berkeley’s New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO) is an additional orientation designed to supplement orientations that are held by your department, school, or program.

New Graduate Student Orientation will be held August 15–17, with workshops held virtually from 1:00–4:30 pm each day.

We’re partnering with offices and organizations all over campus (for example: the libraries, Basic Needs Center, University Health Services, the Office for Graduate Diversity) to help provide information to ease your transition into graduate school, introduce you to campus services and opportunities to get involved, and help you get connected with graduate student communities.
