As a new first-year student, you'll confirm your enrollment at UNF by registering for your New Student Orientation. Orientation is a requirement for all incoming first-year Ospreys. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at newtounf@unf.edu.

Only first-time-in-college (FTIC) students beginning Summer 2024 or subsequent terms: Save your spot by submitting your admissions deposit, or deposit waiver if applicable, in your applicant portal. Upon registration for courses, this deposit will be credited toward your first term's bill.* The admissions deposit will not be refunded if you choose to not attend UNF.

*If you change your application term, the deposit will not be credited toward the new term's bill. However, you will not need to submit another deposit. 

Registering for Orientation in your Applicant Portal

  • Log into your applicant portal
  • Choose the Orientation tab
  • Click "Register" on your preferred session
  • Complete and submit your registration

Please Note: You will be able to choose from several Orientation dates and select the one that works best for you, so be sure to check all schedules (work, vacations, graduation, AP test dates, etc.) before selecting an Orientation session. Both overnight and one-day sessions will be offered. Please be aware sessions can fill quickly. The difference between the overnight and one-day sessions are highlighted below:

  • One-Day- Attend sessions that cover topics like student resources, campus policies, and extracurricular activities. Meet fellow students and Orientation Leaders through fun activities. Enjoy dining in the café for lunch while relaxing with new friends. Meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss class options and schedule your courses.

  • Overnight- In addition to everything the one day offers, you will also: Learn more about the college where your major is housed and interact with faculty and staff. Have dinner and breakfast in the café. Experience campus living by spending the night in the Osprey Fountains residence hall and participate in the Swoop Social at night where you can play volleyball, basketball, swim, or hang out inside with your new friends.

New Student Orientation is MANDATORY for freshmen students. You must attend Orientation in its entirety. You can change sessions after registering, but only if another session has availability. Please also have your credit or debit card ready for payment when making your reservation.

If you need to change your scheduled Orientation, you will need to cancel your registration and then follow the instructions above and select from the available dates to register for a new session. If you add family members to your account for Parent and Family Orientation, their Orientation date(s) will move with yours.
