New Student Orientation is an information session for new Ivy Tech students hosted by your campus. You’ll get an introduction to using campus technology, accessing student resources, understanding financial aid and academic standing, getting involved in clubs and organizations, and more—everything you need to help you prepare for your first day of classes.

Orientation is focused on students. Parents, spouses, friends, or other adult-aged folks are welcome to attend; however, due to limited seating, priority will be given to students. If you bring guests, please be aware of the limited seating. Children should not be brought to orientation.
Students attend orientation after they have completed the application process, met with their academic advisor, and registered for classes. Many students select which orientation session they'd like to attend during their first advisor appointment. If you didn't do that, don't worry! You can stop by or call your local enrollment center to schedule your orientation or browse the list of upcoming new student orientation sessions at your local campus and sign up today.
