Orientation & Transition

New Student Orientation

Getting off to a great start at IU includes attending New Student Orientation. It’s where FYE helps you prepare for a successful first semester and year.

You’ll meet with an academic advisor and register for your first-semester classes. You’ll also take placement exams and learn about IU’s academics, support programs, and other resources. Plus, you’ll get familiar with campus and meet lots of other new Hoosiers.

One more reason to attend: if this is your first time at IU Bloomington as a degree-seeking student, you’re required to come to register for classes.

Make Your Reservation Now

Eligible students may now access the reservation system through the FY(Me) link above.  Invitations continue to be sent out to incoming IU freshmen who have paid their enrollment deposit. To pay yours, simply go to the intent to enroll webpage.  

Parents and Family

This is a time of transition for you too. So we offer a program for parents and family members at the same time as the student program, with sessions that prepare you to support your student. You’ll also get to experience the community and campus where your student will live.

Fees

There is a $135.00 fee, set by the Indiana University Board of Trustees, associated with your New Student Orientation program.  This fee also supports FYE services and programs throughout your first year and will be assessed on your first tuition bill after you attend NSO. 

The parent/guest fees specific to NSO vary by program type and will be outlined in your orientation materials sent to you as you make your reservation.
