Welcome to UCF
Why Orientation?
Besides being mandatory for all undergraduate students, Orientation is your introduction to all things Black and Gold and a sneak peek at all the opportunities ahead. It’s also where you’ll register for your first semester at UCF. Learn more about what a typical Orientation session looks like, and the pre-orientation requirements for all students.
Which Type of Student Are You?
We’ve developed three unique experiences for incoming students and their families. Choose the path that best fits you.
Reserving Your Orientation Date
Summer admits must attend Orientation prior to the start of Summer classes, while Fall admits must attend Orientation prior to Fall classes. As such, for First-Time-in-College students, the availability of Orientation dates before the Summer semester will be limited to Summer admits with a very limited amount of seats for Fall admits.
Please note: Admission into a specific student program does not guarantee a Summer Orientation date for Fall admitted students.
Sessions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis including the separate but simultaneous Family & Guest Orientation program on each date.
When making an Orientation reservation, students will only be able to choose from dates available to their student type.
