The UF Online Fall Welcome Week has been cultivated to help you, our new and returning students, explore, connect and engage with campus partners and your fellow Online Gators — as you kick off the start of an exciting academic year!
This year’s Fall Welcome is coming to you as flexible hybrid experience. We’ve shared a variety of on-demand videos for our #GatorsOnline and your families to learn more about the UF Online experience at your convenience.
Mark your calendars for the live social events so you don’t miss an opportunity to meet and hangout with your fellow Gators. The schedule below will get you started. We look forward to seeing you soon, virtually or in-person!

Meet & Greet
- Take a few minutes during Welcome Week to record a short video to say “Hi” and introduce yourself to UF Online Faculty, Staff, and your fellow Gators! All student video entries will be entered to win one of five UF Online giveaway bags! Instructions on how to log in can be found in the UF Online Plaza.
