Orientation

Welcome to UCF

Welcome to Knight Nation! We are honored you chose the University of Central Florida as the place to unleash your potential. No matter your major, goal or dream, UCF will support you with first-class academics and a variety of support services.


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.

“First Time in College (FTIC)”

I’m a high school senior, or I’ve earned fewer than 12 credit hours after graduating high school.

Transfer

I’m currently studying or have studied at another college and I’ve earned more than 12 credit hours after graduating high school.

Parents and SUPPORTERS

I am a parent, family member, or supporter of an incoming Knight.

Reserving Your Orientation Date

Spring admits must attend Orientation prior to the start of Spring classes.

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.
