To access live and recorded sessions:
Students can participate in live information sessions to learn about a variety of important topics that will be useful during their first semester at UTD. All sessions are recorded and posted on YouTube after each event. Students who entered in fall 2020 can view the fall 2020 live sessions.
All live sessions will be conducted in Microsoft Teams.

All audience members
will be muted when entering the meeting and will have the opportunity to pose questions in writing via the "Q&A" function on the right side of the screen. Live closed captioning is available to all attendees. Please look for the
