Welcome New Students!

Congratulations and Welcome!

New Student Programs congratulates you on your acceptance into California State University, Fullerton! We know you have a wonderful experience ahead of you full of great memories. That said, we know the transition into college life can be both exciting and challenging. By attending orientation, we can help you make the right choices as you begin your journey toward academic success!

Please take the time now to read through the information in this website BEFORE signing up for an orientation session date. This will help prevent you from signing up for the wrong session.

Why is Orientation Important?

FIRST-TIME FRESHMEN

The New Student Orientation registration deadline has been extended. If you plan on attending classes at Cal State Fullerton this fall, you must register for NSO as soon as possible.

If you have been admitted since April 25th, please register for NSO by the deadline indicated in your admittance letter.

New Student Orientation (NSO) is MANDATORY for all first-time freshmen (admitted for fall 2008). Registering for NSO confirms your intent to attend CSUF. If you do not register for a session date, you will risk losing your admissions offer to the university.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

If you have been admitted for fall 2008, you will be able to sign up for a Summer 2008 Transfer Student Orientation (TSO) session  beginning Monday, April 7 at noon or complete the Online Transfer Overview beginning Friday, June 13, 2008.

If you were admitted for spring 2008 and would like to complete the Online Transfer Overview, please click on the link below:

All newly admitted transfer students must either attend a Transfer Student Orientation (TSO) session or complete an Online Transfer Overview before registering for their second semester courses.

Orientation is a great opportunity for you to meet fellow new students and make valuable connections with current Cal State Fullerton students, faculty and staff. New students who make these connections and create these friendships tend to be more successful in their transition to college. In fact, students who attend orientation are more likely to be satisfied with their college experience, achieve better grades and graduate!
