New Student Orientation


Summer 2010 New Student Orientation


Once you have been offered admission to both the University of Arizona (UA) and SALT, you are ready to prepare for the transition of becoming a UA student using SALT services. To help with this transition, our department will conduct a New Student Orientation that will be held in conjunction with select UA orientation sessions.

You will be able to reserve your space in the SALT Center and register for a UA/SALT orientation session by selecting one of the dates listed on the UA orientation website when it is operational. If you have questions regarding UA orientation, please call (520) 621-5293.

Attendance at orientation is required for all new, incoming students to the UA and SALT. Orientation is optional for parents, but many find it a valuable experience.

Through the Next Steps Center website you will be asked to submit a UA Enrollment Deposit prior to choosing a date for your orientation session. Be sure to select FINISH at the end of your online registration in order to electronically record your choice. You will be receiving additional information about UA and SALT orientations in future communications.

Orientation Dates


All UA/SALT orientation sessions are conducted during the month of June and involve three full days of important information and activities. Day 1 is exclusively a day for SALT orientation. Days 2 and 3 are for UA orientation.



The UA/SALT Orientation dates for Summer 2010 are:
May 26 - 28
June 1 - June 3
June 10 - June 13
June 16 - June 18
June 23 - June 25


To avoid orientation date conflicts, check important end-of-the-year high school dates such as graduation, class trips, finals, and proms. Once you have registered for an orientation session, it is extremely difficult and/or impossible to change a session due to the limited number of spaces available in each session.

If it necessary for you to change your initial orientation session, the UA Orientation Office requires students to complete and submit an official Reservation Change Form. If the change can be made, the UA Orientation Office will charge a fee to make the change.

Deposit and Orientation Fees


The SALT Center orientation fees will be $50.00 for each new student and $50.00 for any additional family members.

As stated in your SALT admission letter, you will be billed through the UA Bursar’s Office for the $200.00 SALT deposit. The SALT Center Orientation fees will be on the same bill as the SALT deposit. Bills are sent out on a monthly basis and you should receive these charges within a month of registering for orientation. In July you will be billed for the remainder of SALT fees.

To avoid any complications, after receiving your bill, please submit the deposit and orientation fees as soon as possible to the Bursar's Office. Please contact Lee Gilbert at (520) 626-8304 or the Bursar's Office at (520) 621-3232 if you have any billing questions.
