Accepted Graduate Students Welcome to SUNY ESF!

This year the Graduate School will host its New Graduate Student Orientation completely online through Blackboard.

The goal of the new student orientation program is to facilitate students' transition to graduate school. During orientation, you will receive important information and have the opportunity to virtually meet other new students, faculty and members of the university community.

The program is asynchronous, meaning that students can work through the modules at their own pace anytime from August 10 - 21. A "live" Graduate Student Panel Discussion will also be offered on August 17, at 11:00 a.m., where incoming students can ask questions about classes, research and teaching from students who are further along in their programs - the panel discussion may also be accessed within the Orientation course.

All new graduate students will receive an email with login instructions for the Orientation course. Be sure to keep an eye on your @syr.edu email account and contact the Graduate School at esfgrad@esf.edu if you have any questions.
