Dear MS and PhD students of Batch 2024,  

We are delighted that you have decided to pursue your graduate education at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE), Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).  

Each fall, the Academic Affairs Office at the SBASSE arranges an orientation to warmly welcome our incoming students and assist them in acclimating and getting ready for their graduate studies. This year's orientation will take place in person on Thursday, August 29, 2024, and Friday, August 30, 2024, in Room 10-301, SBASSE building. The schedule has already been shared with you all in the email. 

This orientation will provide you with specific details about your programme requirements, your hosting department, and the student services offered by the university.  

Questions? Please reach out to Ayesha Ikram Butt.

Pre-Orientation Checklist

  1. Since your communication with the LUMS community (faculty, administration, and student peers) will be through your LUMS email address and you will receive notifications about the campus events through it, please ensure that you have access to your LUMS email address. If you need help, please contact the IST helpdesk.

    Not-so-fun fact: If your Campus ID is 2024-06-0001, your email address will be 23060001 @ lums.edu.pk! But you will get your complete login credentials from the IST. So, get in touch with them as soon as possible!  
     
  2. If you have registered for on-campus accommodations, please check with the Residence Office at residence@lums.edu.pk about your check-in process.  
     
  3. Please ensure that you have fulfilled your admission requirements. If you have any queries, please get in touch with the Office of Admissions team at admissions@lums.edu.pk!  
     
  4. Watch the tutorial for using Zambeel. This will help you come prepared for your session with the Office of Registrar (RO) as well as for the course enrollment period (Add/Drop). Also, keep an eye for emails from the RO. They may seem - long and daunting - but trust us, they have crucial information for you in them!
     
  5. Have a look at your programme structure and our graduate policies available in the Graduate Student Handbook. You will receive a copy of it during your host department session! 
     
  6. If you have any special needs and would like to discuss your need for accommodations, you can reach out to the LUMS Office of Accessibility and Inclusion.

  8. They say, Jinne Lahore Nai Wekhya O Jamyai Nai (One who has not seen Lahore, has not been born). So, if you're new to Lahore and eager to explore the city's offerings, we invite you to refer to our guide on how to fully experience it: Click here  

Hope to see you all there on the 29!
