New student orientation

January 12, 2024

All new students are strongly encouraged to attend New Student Orientation. Attendance is required for all new bachelor students registered for 12 or more credits (6 credits in-person), including transfer students with 30 credits or fewer and international undergraduate students (including F-1 and J-1 visa status). If you fall into a required category, you don't need to register.

Fees: A $35 Fall New Student Orientation fee will be applied directly to your student account, which is settled during regular UAF fee payment at the start of the semester.
