WHAT IS ORIENTATION?

All first year students are required to attend a two day University Orientation. This Orientation is vital as it shows students the benefits, requirements and possibilities of University life.  During this session, students will learn about financial aid, academic requirements for the college of their major, and much more.  Students who have been admitted to the Honors College will also have their Orientation to Honors during the University session.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

All admitted students must pay a $200.00 Admissions deposit to be eligible to sign up for Orientation. To sign up for one of the Orientation sessions, go to http://usfweb2.usf.edu/orientation/main.asp from a PC. You will receive a confirmation in the mail from the Office of Orientation.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Follow the instructions that you get from the Office of Orientation and arrive on time for your scheduled two day session.  Plan to stay on campus for the entire two day session.
After you sign up, the Honors College will register you in a preliminary schedule based on your credits earned, level of preparation and major of choice.  We strongly encourage you to leave the schedule alone until you come to Orientation. 

WHAT HAPPENS AT ORIENTATION?

At Orientation you will attend a series of meetings to prepare you for University life.  You will see the staff and students mentors of Honors no less than two times during the second day of your session. 

Note: All sessions are mandatory for admitted Honors College students.
