New Student Orientation
You're about to begin an exciting new adventure.
As a new student at UAF, you will explore new territory, take on new challenges and meet many different people with a wide array of interests, backgrounds and experiences. We want to help you be successful, feel at home on the Fairbanks campus and learn about the whole range of academic opportunities available at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Your first days on campus are sure to be a mixture of new people, places and questions. We're here to help! The New Student Orientation staff is comprised of student leaders and staff who care about your experience as a UAF student. We tailor workshops and design tours to expose you to campus resources. We help address your questions about academic and extracurricular life in Fairbanks and on campus...and so much more!
Attending UAF's Orientation program will help you successfully navigate through the beginning of your UAF experience.
