Orientation

Orientation is a structured interactive session that provides new incoming transfer students with the tools, information and resources (catalog) necessary for academic success at FAU. Major university policies and procedures as well as support services are given in a short program offered both during the day and in the evening. As part of orientation, students have an opportunity to meet with an academic advisor to discuss coursework.
