UNO Graduate Student Virtual Orientation

This Canvas course serves as the virtual orientation experience for all newly admitted graduate students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO). It is designed to help you become familiar with the systems and resources at UNO.

We hope that you'll spend some time to review and engage with each module throughout the course. However, we also recognize that not all of the modules are relevant to all types of graduate students (ex: international students vs. domestic students). In that example, you may choose to spend time in each module except for Module 9 - totally acceptable! Please feel free to customize your orientation experience as needed. 

SAVE THE DATE! On Thursday, August 21, 2025 all new graduate students are invited to attend our New Grad Student Welcome Event at the Thompson Alumni Center! Enjoy some light appetizers, pick up some swag, mingle with fellow students and meet many of our Campus Partners. 

First step - select "Join this Course" on the right-hand side of the screen here and then select "Enroll in Course" next to have the virtual orientation course added to your Canvas dashboard for easy access throughout your first semester. Note, there is no cost to enroll in the virtual orientation course. You're good on that! If you need additional information or assistance, please contact the UNO Office of Graduate Studies.

Next, select Modules in the main navigation of this course to get started.
