First-Year Orientation Overview
UNF's First-Year Orientation is designed to provide you with key tools and resources necessary to have a successful academic career at UNF. Registering for and attending First-Year Orientation is a requirement for all incoming first-year students.

What to Expect
- Find Your Flock - Connect with your First-Year Experience Mentor, who will guide you through orientation. As one of UNF's top current students, they are prepared to answer your questions. You'll also meet other new Ospreys!
- College Sessions - Meet faculty and staff from your college and learn about the transformational learning opportunities available to you. It's a great way to get involved outside the classroom.
- Academic Advising - Meet your academic advisor and discuss your degree goals, course selection and plan for your first year at UNF.
- Academic Support - Hear from Student Academic Success Services (SASS) about tutoring, peer-guided study groups and other services you can use to help you thrive in in the classroom.
- Course Registration - After meeting with your academic advisor, we'll teach you how to enroll in classes and help you register for your first term at UNF.
- Life as a UNF Osprey - Learn all about what makes UNF unique. We'll teach you our traditions, introduce you to organizations and clubs and discuss the recreational perks of being a UNF Osprey.
