Graduate Orientations

It is strongly recommended that all new Saint Louis University graduate students attend orientation.

2025 New Graduate Student Orientation

Join us for New Graduate Student Orientation from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, in SLU's Richard A. Chaifetz Atrium (Campus Map). Parking is available in the Olive/Compton Garage at the corner of Compton Avenue and Olive Street.

Learn about University resources that provide academic support, facilitate community building and connection, and support your health and well-being. There will be a gift at the door for the first 300 students, a raffle to win prizes, and an opportunity to mingle and meet other new graduate students while enjoying snow cones or ice cream.

Department and School Orientation Events

Some SLU departments and schools may offer orientation events specifically for your program, department or major. Please contact your department for information.
