The Office of Admissions will notify you if you will begin your program with UB Jump Start or with the all-entering student Orientation.

They appreciate the academic components and the opportunity to meet fellow students, faculty and staff before school officially starts," - Vice Dean for International and Graduate Programs, Meredith Kolsky Lewis.
