Mission Statement

Orientation Advisors Congratulations to those of you recently accepted to The University of Texas at Austin! We look forward to meeting you and helping you make the transition to life as a Longhorn.

Our Mission

The Mission of New Student Services is to achieve excellence in the orientation and transition of new students.

In pursuit of this mission, New Student Services has established several goals to enrich the quality of campus life:

to empower students to make reasoned and well-informed choices; to acclimate students to the campus and surrounding community;
to provide information and assistance concerning academic policies, procedures, requirements, programs, and registration;
to serve as a campus information and referral agent; and
to promote student leadership and involvement.
