New Student Orientation
Welcome to UNT Health Fort Worth!
On behalf of the New Student Orientation Team, we are excited to welcome you to UNT Health! The mission of New Student Orientation at UNT Health is to create transformational experiences that prepare students to begin their academic journey with confidence by offering tailored support, fostering meaningful relationships, and connecting them with essential resources that support both their personal and professional growth.
Orientation is a mandatory event for all incoming UNT Health students. At your New Student Orientation session, our aim is to strengthen your sense of connection to your peers and the institution, build readiness for your academic and career success, and lay the foundation for a rewarding experience at UNT Health from day one. Administrators, faculty, staff and students will be present throughout the sessions to answer your questions and give advice about your educational future.
If you have any questions at all about New Student Orientation, please send us an email at orientation@unthealth.edu!
