CAMPUS ARRIVAL
WHAT TO EXPECT
StartTU 2025 kicks off with Move-In Day, followed by a weekend packed with events to help you settle in and start building your campus crew. You’ll attend small-group sessions with your peer mentors, meet faculty and staff, and get answers to all your burning questions — academic, social, and everything in between.
From community-building activities to late-night events, orientation is designed to help you feel at home and confident about your first year at UTulsa.
MOVE-IN DAY
Welcome to campus. We’re so glad you’re here! First stop: Pick up your student ID and residence keys, and then head to your hall or apartment, where volunteers will be ready to help
you get settled into your new home away from home.
Pro tip: Submit your ID form and photo before arrival. You’ll need your ID for meals, events, and activities all week long.
MATRICULATION
Matriculation marks your official entry into The University of Tulsa’s academic community, a meaningful bookend to your future Commencement celebration. Held in the Reynolds Center, this event welcomes students and families alike. You will hear from students leaders and campus professionals, and learn the Alma Mater.
Come as you are. On-campus residents just moved in and commuter students are coming from all around town; this is a moment to pause and take it all in. Reign ’Cane!
GET READY FOR ORIENTATION
StartTU 2025 is your official welcome to life at The University of Tulsa — and your chance to get connected before classes even start. You’ll meet fellow students, learn your way around campus, and dive into everything from academic resources to student life.
Before you arrive, take a few easy steps to prepare:
• Check your UTulsa email regularly for updates and details
• Submit your student ID photo and required forms
• Bring a reusable water bottle, comfortable shoes, and an open mind — it’s going to be a big week!
Starting college is a big step, and orientation is your launchpad. We’ll walk with you as you meet new friends, learn the ropes, and begin your UTulsa journey.
