Orientation materials for online students:

For programs whose students are fully online, we recommend sharing these resources as part of orientation:

• Mental Health Services: Students can set up an Access Appointment with UHS, where a counselor can determine which services are available to them or help connect them with local resources. Let’s Talk, Uwill, Togetherall, and the crisis line are also available virtually to students regardless of their location.
• Office of Student Assistance and Support: OSAS staff can assist graduate students, including via phone and email consultation.
• Career- and Skill-Building Resources:These tools offer a mix of on-demand information and live webinars to help students plan for and launch a successful job search. Beyond Graduate School is geared directly toward master's students and their needs.
• Finally, our Online Student Resource Fair, which is part of our Graduate Student Life microsite for new students, provides a list of resources that are available to students in online programs. The website also includes welcome remarks for online students, so it’s a great resource to share in the week or so leading up to the start of the program.
