NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
CONFIRMATION Events and Schedule Check in for August New Student Orientation will take place in the Georgian Room of the Indiana Memorial Union at 12:15 p.m. You’ll want to have lunch prior to the program (light refreshments will be provided). Throughout New Student Orientation, you and your guests will have separate sessions. Parents/family members will have conference-style information sessions in the afternoon while you complete required testing and meet with other new students. Bringing young children is not recommended, as the program is designed for adults. Final sessions conclude around 6:30 p.m. Day Two is personalized for you; Expect a 3-hour commitment between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. You will receive information about what time your day will begin at Check-in on Day One. There is no parent/ family programming on Day Two.
Students or Parents with Disabilities If you or your parents need specific accommodations or have mobility limitations, contact us at fye@indiana.edu or (812) 855-HELP (4357) well in advance of your program so that we can give you information about services available at IU during your program. Parents or guests needing additional help may want to bring along a family member or friend, as we don’t have staff available for this purpose.
