Students and guests are charged a base orientation fee of $35 per person, regardless of the session type or term entering FSU. This covers educational sessions, materials, and staff to help ensure a smooth transition and orientation experience.
When registering for orientation, additional costs may be assessed to students and/or guests to provide a quality and seamless experience. Some of these costs include a housing charge (FTIC Summer/Fall sessions only) and a dining charge. Attendees can opt out of the additional charges through the orientation registration system, but New Student & Family Programs highly recommends that students stay in the residence hall (if applicable) and eat meals on site during their New Nole Orientation session.
Please note: All orientation fees are non-refundable. At minimum, students must pay the $35 base orientation fee in order to complete their reservation. Changes can be made to the reservation up to one week prior to your scheduled session. This includes changing your session date (pending availability), adding on orientation housing/dining, and adding guests. Changes to orientation housing/dining charges cannot be made on site. All payments must be made through the orientation registration system, which can be accessed through the myFSU portal (https://my.fsu.edu).
