Slide 6: Purpose of the Orientation
We created this orientation to help you be successful at UA. We know that you probably have
many questions about immigration, the campus, and much more, we hope you find it helpful. It
covers immigration information, arrival logistics, housing, a campus tour, academics, safety and
security, health wellness and insurance, and employment as well as many other aspects.
Slide 7: How Quizzes Work
We will have some quizzes in the orientation. The purpose of the quizzes is to make sure we're
explaining things well. Unlike a real college quiz, these quizzes are setup so you can take as
much time as you need we encourage you to review the orientation if needed to find the answers.
You can also repeat the quiz if needed.
