Orientation Overview

Check back in April 2023 for information regarding orientation for spring, summer, and fall 2023.
Winter orientation will consist of five steps:
You can find detailed information on each of these steps on the Five Steps of Orientation page.
The fee for winter 2023 orientation is $150.
The fee will be added to your U-M student billing account in January. Do not send this fee in advance. Once you register for orientation, you are responsible for the entire fee whether or not you ultimately enroll at the University of Michigan. This fee supports the Office of New Student Programs, including the content created for orientation, supporting our student staff, and supporting other programming offered by our office for new students.
To request a fee waiver, email onsp@umich.edu from your U-M email and we will work with Financial Aid to determine approval.
During registration for your Virtual Academic Advising Date, you will be able to enter any accessibility needs you might have. In addition, you can email our office at onsp@umich.edu with any concerns you have with completing orientation. Please contact us as soon as possible if you have concerns about accessing the internet or using a device to complete orientation.
It is important that students with disabilities register with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) as soon as possible to discuss your school year needs as well.
