New Student Orientation

Great Choice!

You'll be so glad you chose UND! Get ready to have fun, make friends and start the future of your dreams.

Welcome. We'll be here to help you every step of the way.

Freshmen Getting Started

This is where you'll find your advisor, register for classes, and get familiar with the campus.

Please invite your family, together you'll learn about our classes and developmental opportunities, campus safety, housing options, meal plans, and the support services available to you on campus and in Grand Forks.

During Getting Started, UND orientation begins and course registration occurs. Additionally, families engage in meaningful conversation about their direct impact on the success of their student. Most students attend Getting Started with their families.

Transfer Student Getting Started

It's easy to make a seamless transition to UND. Transfer Student Getting Started is held on a Saturday in late March or early April.

You'll register for classes early, meet with your academic advisor, learn about services, complete your placement exams and become familiar with campus. Only admitted students are allowed to participate in the Transfer Student Getting Started program, so apply early for admission. We also encourage you to participate in the Welcome Weekend before classes start in August.
