New Student Orientation Change Policy

All reservation changes for New Student Orientation can be made within the Orientation Registration System.

  • A fee of $5 will be charged each time you change your New Student Orientation reservation.  
  • Changes cannot be made within 7 days of your scheduled program start date due to New Student Orientation preparation. 
  • If a student 'no shows' to their scheduled New Student Orientation session, the $5 change fee will not cover moving to a later session. Another New Student Orientation Registration will need to be completed and another New Student Orientation fee will occur.  

 

Parent, Family & Supporter Orientation change Policy

  • Changes cannot be made within 7 days of your scheduled program start date due to Parent, Family & Supporter Orientation preparation.  
  • If a Parent, Family or Supporter guest 'no shows' to their scheduled Parent, Family & Supporter Orientation session, and would like to attend a different session, another Parent, Family & Supporter Orientation Registration will need to be completed and another Parent, Family & Supporter Orientation fee will occur.  
  • If you wish to cancel your registration for Parent, Family, & Supporter Orientation within 7-days of the event, please fill out the above form and select the “Cancel and No Refund” option under the Changes to my Parent, Family, & Supporter Orientation tab. This will help us know that you will not be in attendance and we should not expect you at the event.

 

UOnline & Virtual New Student Orientation Change Policy

  • All reservation changes for New Student Orientation can be made within the Orientation Registration System.
  • A fee of $5 will be charged each time you change your New Student Orientation reservation.  
  • Changes cannot be made within 7 days of your scheduled program start date.  If a student begins the UOnline or Virtual New Student Orientation Canvas Course, they will not be eligible for a refund.

 

No-Shows Policy

  • Participants who do not attend their scheduled New Student Orientation or arrive after check-in has closed (8:45am), are considered 'no-shows' and noted as cancelled.  'No Show' participants are not eligible for a refund.  Participants still needing to attend New Student Orientation will be expected to pay any additional registration fees, again, in order to complete New Student Orientation. As a reminder New Student Orientation is a required program for all incoming new students.
  • This same policy applies to Parent, Family & Supporter Orientation participants, however, participation is optional for this program. 

 

New Student Orientation Program Fee Waiver Policy

We recognize that some students may face financial constraints paying for New Student Orientation. The Office of Orientation & Transition has an option for an orientation fee waiver.

Students who wish to sign up for New Student Orientation and have not or do not intend to complete a FAFSA but feel the orientation fee is a financial burden may request an orientation fee waiver. Please fill out this form to be considered for a Fee Waiver.
