Eastern Kentucky University has a required Orientation Program for all new freshmen. The Orientation Program enables new Eastern Kentucky University students to meet with faculty, staff, and student advisors to acquaint themselves with Eastern's campus and services and to register for their first semester courses.

Please remember you must be admitted to Eastern Kentucky University before you can participate in orientation or transfer advising and registration. (see ADMISSIONS). Once officially admitted to EKU, an orientation or an advising and registration invitation will be sent to you. In addition, if you are a freshman, you will need to send a copy of your high school transcript to EKU before attending the orientation session, unless you attend in April!!. If you are a transfer student, all materials from previous institutions should be submitted for review prior to your advising and registration day.

If you have additional Orientation questions, please e-mail: FYP@eku.edu.
