Foreign Language Test: The test is now given at 4:30 p.m. on Day One of Orientation. You can get more information about the Foreign Languages & Literature Department on their website.

Music Theory Placement Test: This test is required for all Music and Music Ed. majors. It will be offered at 10:00 a.m. on Day One of the Orientation session. You can find more informaiton about the Music Department at their website.

Housing for Orientation: Please remember that you will be staying overnight in our residence halls. This is a mandatory part of the program. You will need to bring your own bedding and toiletries. The beds in the Stophel Apartments are full size beds. We are not able to provide housing for parents. We have a list of hotels listed on our website.

We still have spots left on our July 23-24th and August 12th sessions. All of our earlier sessions are full.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on campus and thanks for choosing UTC! GO MOCS!

We have our first Transfer Orientaiton session tomorrow. The day will start for some at 8:30 a.m. with check in at our University Center. Placement tests will start at 9:00 a.m. If you are not sure if you need to take the tests, please give us a call before you come to campus. We will be in the office at around 7:30 a.m.

If you need directions to campus, please give us a call or visit our “How to Get Here” page. See ya tomorrow!

Just wanted to send out a quick reminder that you MUST pay for the session before your seat is reserved. We have several people who have gone into the system and selected a date but failed to pay. This DOES NOT reserve your space at that session. Our first two sessions are already overbooked and can not take anymore students.

PLEASE go in and check your account and make sure you have paid before you make arrangements to come to Chattanooga for a session. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Orientation office at 423.425.5220. Andrew or Lindsay will be more than happy to help you. You can also send a note through the Orientation system or respond here.

Thanks for making UTC your choice for Higher Education!

We have found out that Transfer Students have been getting the same confirmation note as Freshman. We are working to fix this and encourage Transfers to look at the Transfer Orientation page for accurate information regarding session times and schedules.

Please do no hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding the schedule. Thanks for choosing UTC!

We have had several questions regarding issues with registering online. There could be a couple of reasons why:

1. Your birthdate is wrong in the system: There is a chance that there was a mistake in entering your date of birth into the University system or in moving your information from the University system to the Orientation database, or
2. You have not been added to the Orientation database yet: we got behind in putting in newly admitted students into the system and are working hard to catch up.

Either way, please contact us via the “Send a Message” link on the registration page. We will look into your account and get back to you within a day. Thanks for your patience and thanks for choosing UTC!

We have had a couple of questions on how to register parents and family members on the site.  This can be a little confusing due to the language used by our system. Students can add “guests” to their reservation through their “My Reservation” page.

By adding a guest, you are registering that person for the Parent/Family orientation session that runs concurrently with the student session. Please give us a call if you experience any issues with the system or have any questions about Orientation.

Looking forward to seeing you all this summer! GO MOCS!
