At Howl Days Orientation you will:
Orientation Options
We encourage everyone who can to attend the in-person Howl Days for the most dynamic experience. You’ll start with a resource fair, where you can connect directly with the resources and opportunities that will help you make the most of UAA. Then the Wolfpack will show you all UAA has to offer with a presentation and tour. Last but not least, you’ll meet with academic advisors about academic success, placement, and registration. Please plan to be on campus for 4–5 hours.
The live virtual option is a good one for students who are unable to make it to campus or are needing a briefer introduction to student life at UAA. The Wolfpack will show you how to make the most of campus resources and opportunities, lead a virtual tour, and introduce you to some of the first year advisors. Plan to be on Zoom for two hours.
If you are not able to find a day and time that works for you to join an in-person or live virtual session, this format is for you. You will receive access to the virtual orientation modules so that you can learn about the university at your own pace. Be sure to connect with your academic advisor separately.
If you are unable to attend in-person orientation but would like an in-person tour of campus, schedule a campus with one of the Wolfpack orientation leaders. We can show you how to find your classes and navigate campus. Email uaa_orientation@alaska.edu to schedule yours!
