Welcome to Grand Valley State University's Graduate Student Orientation
for new students and Ready-Reference for current students.


While many new graduate students will be invited to a program-specific academic orientation, all new graduate students are also welcome to attend a general orientation session prior to the start of fall and winter semesters.  The general session is held at the Pew Campus in Grand Rapids.

Since the majority of GVSU's graduate students attend classes on a part-time basis, the general orientation provides important information in a concise yet comprehensive format.  By attending you will learn about services, resources, and activities to help you navigate, acclimate, and succeed at GVSU! 

For those who are unable to attend this website has been designed to help you get started by providing an introduction to the services and resources that you will need.  However, it also serves as a ready reference for future use for those seeking information about GVSU at any time during their academic careers.

Questions regarding graduate student orientation can be directed to Steven Lipnicki at 616.331.7188.
