New Student Orientation and Parent Programs

Welcome new students and parents to Northern Kentucky University.  New student orientation is a requirement for all new first time students.  We also offer an optional transfer orientation for transfer students who would like more information about the university and resources.  Registration information for fall 2010 will be available in April.  Transfer and non-traditional students will begin to receive their orientation registration forms in the mail in mid-May.

Students cannot sign-up for their orientation on-line.  Students will be assigned an orientation date based on their major and based on when they paid their enrollment confirmation fee.


New students will receive their orientation date assignment and paper registration form in the mail beginning the week of April 26th if they have already paid their enrollment confirmation fee.  Students will not receive their orientation date assignment until after they have paid their enrollment confirmation fee of $75. 

New Student Orientation and Parent Programs is dedicated to making your first year and the years beyond a success. We invite you to learn more about us and the Northern Kentucky University community.
