Step 11: Register for New Student & Family Orientation
New Student & Family Orientation (NSFO) provides an opportunity to get to know the USF campus, learn about resources for incoming students, and connect with faculty, staff, and current students. NSFO includes programs for students and programs for families. See below for the dates of your orientation.
Orientations for International Students
All new first-year and transfer international students are required to attend both the New Student Orientation and the International Student Orientation programs listed below. Please note, the International Student Orientation will not conflict with any required activities taking place during the New Student Orientation program.

Family Orientations
Orientation for first-year families will take place the weekend of August 12–13.

After each family orientation, students will have their own orientation activities leading up to the first day of classes. Family orientation is optional.
