New Faculty Orientation
Welcome to Texas Tech University! The Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Center is pleased to host Texas Tech University’s New Faculty Orientation. This process is designed to help you make a smooth transition into your faculty role, and there are several important components of this program.
If you have questions about any of these components or need assistance during the new faculty onboarding process, please reach out to our team at nfo@ttu.edu.
If you are a department administrator, please fill out this form for each new faculty member in your area.
Online Resources and Training
The first components of New Faculty Orientation begin with online resources and compliance training videos. You will be receiving additional information about these resources via email. We have also compiled a list of frequently asked questions from new faculty with answers and links to resources.
Orientation Day
On Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at the TLPDC in conjunction with the Office of the Provost will host the face-to-face portion of New Faculty Orientation in the Teaching, Learning & Professional Development Center (North-wing of the University Library). Please note that this day is mandatory for all new faculty, including tenure-eligible and non-tenure eligible. This orientation represents a very important opportunity for you to become acquainted with information about the university and network with new colleagues from across campus.

New Faculty Workshop Series
The fall workshop series is the final requirement you will need to complete in the
New Faculty Orientation process. This workshop series will offer topics of interest
to new faculty representing resources and departments from around the university.
New faculty will need to attend a minimum of 3 workshops at the TLPDC during their
first semester at TTU. Our fall workshop series is still on-going, and you can find details and registration
