We are proud that you have chosen to become a member of the NKU family! In order to assist you with your transition to NKU, all new students are required to attend Orientation. This is a half-day program that educates you on the many services that Northern Kentucky University has to offer. In addition to learning more about NKU, this orientation program will answer questions you may have about college and help you begin to build a strong success network at NKU. Before looking into Orientation, make sure you've completed Veteran Student Welcome Checklist.

Orientation details for the 2026-2027 school year will be shared in the second half of the spring 2026 semester.
