Orientation is designed to help you prepare for your first semester at NDSU! Throughout the day, you will:

• Begin making connections with other new and returning students.
• If you will live on-campus, you will learn about campus living and amenities and meet Residence Life staff. If you will live off-campus, you will learn about commuter student services and meet with staff.
• Eat lunch in a dining center.
• Learn about finances at NDSU and get your questions answered.
• Receive your NDSU ID card.
• Campus tours will be available.
• Register for your first semester of classes with the guidance of an Academic Advisor (if you haven't already registered by your Orientation date).
• Your family members or other guests are invited to attend orientation so they can also be well-informed.  You will attend some orientation sessions together and some will be specifically for students or guests.
