Office of New Student Orientation Programs

Welcome New Rockets!

Your first step in the orientation process is Rocket Transition orientation. During Rocket Transition, you’ll meet your campus support system and other new Rockets, be introduced to the resources to help you succeed as a Rocket, and will enroll in classes for your first semester.

Students coming to UToledo directly from high school and adult students 21 and younger complete orientation at one of our in person Rocket Launch sessions.

Orientation registration for all adult and transfer students entering UToledo in fall 2024 opens on March 1, 2024 in your New Rocket Portal. For transfer and adult students starting classes in summer 2024, orientation registration will open on February 1, 2024.

When you register for online orientation, you will be sent a link to complete the modules once you submit your reservation. You will know you've completed the modules when you see "You've Completed Your Online Orientation" above your name. The online modules take approximately one hour to complete and your orientation hold will be removed within one business day of completing the modules.

Once you have completed your orientation requirement, you may contact an academic advisor to register for classes. Students will not be permitted to register for classes until they complete orientation. 

ORIENTATION FEE

All new students must pay the orientation fee of $125. The fee is the same, regardless of which orientation method you register for and must be paid as part of your bill for the semester. The orientation fee covers student staff, cost of programs, and cost of welcome and transition events during the semester. For students who choose to attend orientation in person, the fee also covers the cost of lunch for the student.
