2014 TRANSFER STUDENT RIENTATION

Need to Stay Overnight? Do your travel plans require you to arrive on campus early or stay an extra day after orientation? For an additional fee, you can stay right on campus. We have options for both you and your guests (separate locations). More information, and special NSO hotel options, will be included in your confirmation.

Make Your Reservation Today We can’t wait to introduce you to Hoosier life at New Student Orientation. You can choose an orientation program from one of five dates in June and July reserved for transfer students.

Here’s how to reserve your spot:

Log in to your personalized FY(Me) page. See the link at fye.indiana.edu.

Follow the step-by-step directions. We encourage you to provide an email address for your parent or guardian so we can copy them on your confirmation.

Check your IU email for your NSO confirmation and read it carefully. It includes:

• Information about both required and optional exams, including links.

• Instructions for other tasks you must complete before NSO such as an Academic Planning Worksheet and Health History form.

• Details about travel, parking, and accommodations for you and your guests during NSO.

What to Expect New Student Orientation (NSO) for transfer students is a required one-day program. It will help you become familiar with campus and the services, processes, and opportunities here; make important decisions about the upcoming year; and meet other new transfer students.

Here are some important things to know about planning for and attending your orientation program:

✭ Academics. The Transfer NSO program allows you choices throughout your day, and you can tailor your program to best meet your needs. You can attend a session about academic expectations from an IU Bloomington professor and a group meeting with your advising area. Then you will meet one-on-one with an academic advisor to plan your course schedule and register for classes.

✭ Placement Exams. IU Bloomington requires that you take both a math placement exam and a foreign language placement exam. Both are offered online and must be taken prior to your NSO program. Your confirmation will provide details, a link, and any exemption options.

✭ Travel. You can start making your travel plans as soon as you have your NSO email confirmation. Prior to your program date, and after May 20th, we’ll mail you a packet with final information and your temporary parking pass.

Orientation Fees The NSO fee is $145 and will appear on your first tuition bill from the Office of the Bursar. The guest fee is $20 for one person ($10 for each additional guest) and includes one set of materials. Lunch is provided for you and your paid guest(s). At check in, you can authorize guest fees to be added to yours and included on your first tuition bill.

Here is your next step

Special Program for Guests Parents and family members are an important part of your IU experience. That’s why we hold orientation sessions just for them during your NSO program. They’ll get tips for helping you make the transition to IU and learn about the resources, programs, and support in place for your success.

Help for People with Disabilities If you or a guest will need special accommodations for a disability or mobility concern during your orientation, please let us know when you place your reservation. We will contact you to help you make arrangements.

Your To-Do List Your NSO reservation is just one of the things you need to get ready for life at IU Bloomington. Don’t forget to:

Apply for housing if you’ll be living on campus for the academic year. Room assignments are made in order of application date. See rps.indiana.edu for details.

Complete your IU Bloomington email account set up at ams.iu.edu.
