New Student Orientation Programs

Get Ready for Rocket Launch

At Rocket Launch, you will meet other new students, learn about campus resources, and register for your first semester classes.  Rocket Launch is required for all new students coming to UToledo directly from high school and first time students under the age of 21. Transfer students and adult students 22 and older attend Rocket Transition.  

Rocket Launch takes place during the week in June.  We have a lot of information to cover, so be prepared to be on campus from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on your selected Rocket Launch date.  Because Rocket Launch dates vary by college and are first come, first served, you must go into the registration form to view all available dates.  All orientation sessions take place in person on campus.

Registration is required for Rocket Launch. Rocket Launch registration opens February 1, 2024 for Summer 2024 students and March 1, 2024 for Fall 2024 students.  Log into your New Rocket Portal to register.

PLACEMENT TESTING 

Placement tests and ACT /SAT scores (if applicable) are used by our departments to place you into the correct math, chemistry, and foreign language courses. To make sure you get the correct schedule at Rocket Launch, be sure to complete your placement tests at least one week before attending orientation. Learn more about your college's requirements for placement testing at the link below.

During Rocket Launch, we will have a variety of sessions to connect you with all the important resources you need to succeed as a Rocket. You'll meet current students, hear from Rocket Solution Central about paying your bill, eat lunch in one of dining halls and more! You will also meet with advising staff in your college and register for classes for your first semester.
