Its about that time! Here is what you need to know about Freshman Orientation.
Welcome to Orientation Registration
Please read through the information listed below carefully before registering for your orientation session.
Length of Orientation
The Student Orientation Program lasts 2 ½ days. Students must attend all sessions.
The Parent Program is two and a half days.
What to Expect
Orientation is an exciting time. There is a lot to accomplish in a very short period of time. Think of it as a snapshot of what you’ll experience as a student. Below are a few helpful hints to make your orientation experience enjoyable.
Weather - think hot thoughts! Tallahassee in July and August is hot, humid and often wet!
Keep this in mind when packing for your trip.
Terrain - Have you heard? FAMU sits on the highest of seven hills on over 400 acres.
Be prepared for Walking, Walking and (you guessed it) more Walking!
Days & Nights - Early mornings and late evenings are all too common during orientation.
Be prepared for a full day of events every day that you’re here. Orientation is serious business but don’t worry we’ll do our best to make sure you have fun too!
Disability Services
Orientation participants requiring accommodations for disabilities should contact the Center for Disability Access and Resources (CeDAR) at 850-599-3180 two weeks prior to your session.
Family Orientation Program
Parents/Guardians are encouraged to attend Orientation with their students. An Orientation Family Program will be held concurrently with the student program; however the family program is separate from the student program. The Orientation Family Program includes a series of presentations designed to acquaint the family and/or relatives of an incoming student with the campus and its resources. The sessions will provide an opportunity to familiarize parents/guardians with the services that are available to their student. It will also provide insight into the kinds of adjustments students and their families will face during their transition to college life.
