Transfer Student Orientation



Orientation is required for all new UCF students. UCF’s Orientation experience provides information for all incoming students to be successful, both inside and outside of the classroom. We are excited for you to learn more about UCF and prepare for your time as a Knight!

Sessions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis including the separate but simultaneous Family & Guest Orientation program on each date.
