Learn more about New Student Orientation

Beginning in mid-March, once a student submits their confirmation fee, they will receive an invite via email to select a summer orientation date. Orientation dates are available on a first-come, first serve basis. The sooner you confirm your enrollment, the greater flexibility you'll have when selecting your orientation date!

• Orientation: A half-day program designed to help you learn more about course registration and student success, occurs in May, June, and July.
• VictorFest: An exciting introduction to campus life at NKU. Occurs just before classes start in August.

Students are required to attend both Orientation & VictorFest in preparation for their first NKU classes.
