UAB’s orientation program is required for all new students (freshmen, transfer, or non-traditional), so you should plan for it early. Blazer Beginnings gives you a chance to meet other new students, learn about support services, and get help registering for classes. Keep in mind that signing up for an earlier orientation session will mean earlier registration, which means a better chance of getting the classes you want. The size of each session is limited in order to allow your advisor and other campus representatives to work closely with you.
