An Admitted Student Day is an optional visit day, only for admitted students, that's focused on next steps. It's a great option for students who are still deciding where they want to attend or students who have chosen UNI and want another look at campus and assistance with what's next. This is not a required orientation event.

The Cultural Connections track allows students to learn more about the resources unique to our campus that help students of color find success and build community.
