Transfer Student Orientation

Here is your next step Make Your Reservation Today We can’t wait to introduce you to Hoosier life at New Student Orientation (NSO).

We offer several date options just for transfer students.

1. Log in to your personalized FY(Me) page at fye.indiana.edu. Follow the instructions. Be sure to update your profile and provide an email address for your parent or guardian.

2. Read your online confirmation very carefully and share it with your family. It includes: •

Information about your required exams.

•

Instructions for other tasks you MUST complete before NSO.

•

Details about travel, parking, meals, and what to expect.

3. Watch your email for updates and reminders about your program.

What to Expect New Student Orientation (NSO) for transfer students is a required one-day program. (note: students transferring directly into the Jacobs School of Music will attend a two-day NSO program with other freshmen and transfer students) It will help you become familiar with campus and the services, processes, and opportunities here.

You will meet with an academic advisor and register for your first semester. You will also be able to meet other new and current students and see the campus a bit. Make your reservation now for the most date options.

Disability Assistance If you or a guest will need accommodations for a disability or mobility concern during NSO, please let us know when you place your reservation. We will contact you to help you make arrangements.

We urge you to attend NSO during June or July. It’s the best way to register for classes and prepare for your first year at IU Bloomington. If you can’t come in the summer, you will attend the late August program, just prior to Welcome Week. Look for more information on your FY(Me) page.
