Undergraduate Student Orientation

Supporting New Undergraduate Students

Starting your journey at Indiana University begins with a strong foundation. New Student Orientation is designed to help you prepare for academics, connect with campus resources, and feel confident arriving on campus. The Office of Orientation & Enrollment Programs will guide you through the process—including academic advising and course registration and your Foundations of Orientation experience—so you know what to do next and when to do it.
