Invitation to New Student Orientation
The invitation is your cue to reserve your spot in New Student Orientation. We begin mailing invitations in March to incoming students who are planning to enroll at IU in the fall. Freshmen will receive their invitations by mail. Transfer students will receive an email invitation. In order to be invited and to choose an orientation date, new students must complete the Intent to Enroll form (this does not apply to students transferring to IUB from another IU campus). Freshmen students must also pay their enrollment deposit through the Office of Admissions. New students entering IU during a summer session or during spring semester will be sent the orientation invitation by email.

Confirmation and Preparation Packet
In addition to the online reservation confirmation, students attending summer New Student Orientation will receive a confirmation packet before their program date. Students attending orientation at other times will receive this packet electronically.
Read these materials carefully and share them with your family members, because they include important information like what to expect, what to bring, and where to park. Your packet will also contain academic materials and other items to read and fill out before orientation.
