UVM New Student Programs

Hello Catamounts! We are so incredibly proud of all the hard work people have been doing to get through this pandemic and for baring with us through a lot of change. We are excited to be ushering in an exciting plan for Orientation and part of that plan is closing of the New Student Programs page and merging with UVM’s main Facebook account.

Fear not, we are still on Instagram where you can find all kinds of Orientation goodies to help keep you on track starting in June! Below are some helpful links that will help incoming students stay on track throughout this summer and leading up to orientation.
