The online New Graduate Student Orientation will launch via Canvas on or after August 1st, and all new graduate students will be added to the course.
All new graduate students will be emailed with this information after August 1st*. This Canvas course can be completed on-demand.
The “course” is located in Canvas, the university’s learning management system. (Note that if you are a new Teaching Assistant, you should have received a separate invitation to join the New TA Orientation Canvas course.) Please look for the invitation after August 1 and follow the instructions to join the course.
*If you DO NOT receive an invitation from Canvas by August 2, you can self-enroll in the NGSO via this link. If you have any trouble accessing Canvas, please contact the Help Desk at 859-218-4357 or 218HELP@uky.edu. While the NGSO is optional, we encourage you to review the modules before classes begin. The course will remain available to you throughout the semester.
