Pre-Orientation Information

The Swoopapalooza Orientation session will be very busy as you acclimate to the UNF campus. Therefore, there are many things you will need to take care of in advance of your scheduled orientation session to ensure the smoothest transition possible.

To Do Checklists  

The pre-orientation checklist will help you prepare for your orientation session and entering UNF. It is vital you take care of each of these actions as you prepare to begin your first semester at UNF. Download the appropriate checklist  for the term you are entering. Place this checklist in an important place (on the refrigerator is always great) and check off the items as you complete them.
