We believe every UNT student has the potential to succeed. We also know that the transition to college can often be difficult as you begin to navigate a new environment where you are now responsible for all of your decisions—both positive and negative. Part of our responsibility is to help you shape your college experience in a way that sets you up for success. You are an important member of our university community and we want to make sure you, too, feel like an integral member of it. To help you start on the right foot, all new freshmen will be required to participate in First Flight, UNT’s official welcome week program.

First Flight consists of a series of events all geared toward starting your first semester on the right foot. Ultimately, by the end of First Flight, we want you to feel prepared, have a sense of what a healthy college lifestyle looks like, feel connected to the university community, and already be thinking about your future!

All new freshmen must be checked in to First Flight and on campus by Sunday, August 21 at 4:00pm for the First Flight Kick-Off. Once First Flight kicks-off, regardless of if you live on campus or will be commuting to campus, you should plan to spend the entire week at UNT. More information on First Flight, including how to check in can be found at studentaffairs.unt.edu/first-flight-week.

ORIENTATION DETAILS

ORIENTATION LENGTHOrientation is a 3-day experience, and students are required to stay the night on campus. Students and families should plan to arrive no later than 3:00pm on Day 1* of their orientation session and depart no earlier than 5:00pm on Day 3 of their session.*Students needing to test for the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) are encouraged to test at a location near their hometown before orientation. TSI testing is not part of the orientation schedule. Please visit the Learning Center website for more information: learningcenter.unt.edu/texassuccessinitiative and also see page 8 of this book.

ORIENTATION HOUSINGPart of the orientation experience is staying in the residence halls. Orientation participants in sessions 1-7 will reside in Kerr Hall. Students attending orientation are required to spend both nights in the residence hall. Housing is not provided during session 8. Students attending session 8 will move into their fall residence hall home before their orientation session begins. If you are a commuter student, during session 8 you will be expected to commute to and from campus each day for orientation. Commuter students attending sessions 1-7 will be expected to stay in the orientation residence hall.

ORIENTATION FEEThe student orientation fee is $188 for students who register by May 1, and $208 after that date. This fee is non-refundable. This fee includes lodging, meals (dinner on Day 1 through lunch on Day 3), materials, t-shirt, staffing, administrative costs, and year-long orientation activities.

Although students who graduate from an Early College High School (ECHS) can enter the university with a significant number of transfer credits, UNT requires these graduates to participate in a 3-day freshman orientation program. We believe this best sets you up for success at UNT. Because your needs are slightly different, we encourage you to attend a special meeting prior to the orientation welcome to help better prepare you for your orientation experience. This meeting will take place at 1:30pm on the first day of your orientation. We encourage you to check in to orientation at 1:00pm and then attend this meeting. The location of the meeting will be available to you at check-in.
