New Employees

First Day!


New Employee Orientation

As part of your onboarding experience, you are required to attend New Employee Orientation before beginning work in your department. During orientation, you will learn about Texas A&M University-Kingsville, employee benefits, university policies, and resources available to support your success. You will receive an email the week before your start date with the orientation date, time, and location.

Once you have access to Workday, onboarding tasks will be assigned to your inbox. Please review and complete all assigned tasks as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition into your new role.
