Freshman Transition Program Orientation

Apply for your OneCard so that it will be available for pickup when you attend Orientation. Failure to meet the deadline may lead to a delay in receiving your OneCard.

New Student Orientation will be held this summer for freshmen, including Freshman Transition Program students, starting TU in fall 2025. Don't forget to register your family member or guest for Family Orientation.

At New Student Orientation, you'll meet fellow incoming students and learn about your course schedule, academic standards, living on/off campus, the FTP program, and what it means to be a part of the TU community.

Your bill is due in early August. Your registration will be canceled for non-payment if not received in full and if financial aid is not confirmed by the due date.
