New Graduate Student Orientation Resources

Use these resources to help you transition to your graduate career. It might seem a bit overwhelming, but that’s only because there are so many resources available to UB students. We recommend that you take some time over the first two weeks of your semester to explore this information, to help set you up for success during your graduate career.

The links offer more information about how to navigate life at the University at Buffalo.

The documents and links section includes tips and suggestions on how to be a successful graduate student, and information about some of the programs available in GSE.

The videos offer short introductions to many of the programs and services available to you as a student. We hope you will take advantage of these.
