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 wraparound support services.


Why Orientation?

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 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 this will be my first time in college.

Transfer

I’m currently studying at another college or have earned credits at another school.

Parents and Guardians

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

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, the availability of Orientation dates before the Summer semester will be limited to Summer admits only and Fall admits who are admitted to select programs; these programs are included on the list of dates.

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.
