Fall First-Year Student Orientation

New students and parents congregate in Talley Student Union for orientation.

Welcome, Class of 2027!

The Office of New Student Programs welcomes you to NC State University, a community of achievers rich in tradition and academic excellence. To assist you in becoming a part of the Wolfpack, we invite you to attend a First-Year Student Orientation session. Once registration opens and you have paid your Advanced Enrollment Deposit confirming you will attend NC State, you will be able to register for an Orientation session.

This page is for first-year, domestic students beginning at NC State in August 2023. If you are an International student (beginning August 2023), or Spring Connect student (beginning January 2024), view the following pages for Orientation sessions specifically designed for your transition.
