Graduate Students

Welcome New Graduate Students

Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Houston-Clear Lake! The Orientation and New Student Programs (ONSP) Office is excited to welcome you to campus! You will be joining a vibrant and diverse community of students from across Texas and around the world. ONSP hosts various orientation and welcome programs to ease your transition and welcome you to UHCL.

During TSO, you will receive a snapshot of UHCL resources, an overview of services, and an understanding of academic policies. You will also connect with faculty members, fellow students, and UHCL administrators. Specific presentations include: 

• College Finances 101 
• Meet Your College 
• Title IX & Mental Health 
• Campus Tour 
• Hawk Talk Breakout Sessions

You must be an admitted incoming graduate student to register for TSO. Depending on which academic semester you are admitted for, we offer a specific TSO session. You will be notified to your UHCL student email when the orientation registration is open for your admitted semester.
