The Office of New Student and Owl Family Programs wishes to make Orientation sessions accessible to people of all abilities. If you need a reasonable accommodation to fully participate in Orientation please contact Maggie Kelly by phone at 561.297.2733 or by e-mail at mkelly42@fau.edu or TTY Relay Station 1-800-955-8770. Please make your needs known 7 days prior to the orientation to allow sufficient time for effective accommodations.

Reservation forms for all new Undergraduate Students

• Choose the appropriate link below to get to the correct reservation form.  At the end of the form you will be asked to pre-pay for your orientation. Orientation reservations cannot be held without payment. 

• Space at each orientation session is available on a first-reserve basis until sessions have reached their maximum capacity.  At that time, sessions will close.

• Once the reservation and payment have been approved by the Office of New Student and Owl Family Programs, students will receive a confirmation e-mail through their MyFAU e-mail account.  If your reservation and payment are not approved, you will receive an explanation of denial.  Reasons for denial may include but are not limited to: registration for wrong semester session (registering for summer when you are a fall student), invalid credit card, etc.   

• If your credit card/webcheck is denied for payment, your reservation will NOT be accepted.  You must then re-enter the reservation form and try again. 

• Students with 29 Credits & Below can reserve for their parent’s/guest’s on the 29 Credits & Below reservation form or can wait until a later date to sign them up on the Guest fees form.
