Accommodations for New Student Orientation
We want all new students to have a welcoming and accessible orientation experience. Throughout the program, we will be moving across campus, both indoors and outdoors, and using spaces with varying room sizes, acoustics, and lighting.
If you need disability-related accommodation - permanent or temporary - to fully participate, please reach out in advance of the program start:
- Student Accessibility Services: access@uvm.edu
- Orientation: orientation@uvm.edu
Join us on ZeeMee
Leading up the orientation program and throughout the orientation weekend, we will use ZeeMee to communicate with one another. All new students should download ZeeMee and set up their profile before arriving to campus!
