We’re ready to welcome you to campus and the Florida P.O.L.Y. New Student Orientation is the first step in your transition to becoming a Phoenix. New Student Orientation is Florida Poly’s way to help students start strong and ensure a connection with and understanding of the Florida Poly experience.
All incoming students are encouraged to attend virtual pre-orientation. During these 45 minute sessions, learn about scheduling an academic advising appointment and connect with important campus resources. Space is limited.
All incoming students will meet with a success coach to directly connect with course
registration information and insights. Details regarding registration are shared during
virtual pre-orientations.
Please reach out to success@floridapoly.edu to schedule an appointment with a succes coach if you missed your pre-orientation.
To gain familiarity with Florida Poly's campus life, culture, and involvement opportunities,

Start off your academic journey at Florida Poly right and participate in the mandatory in-person Live-On Campus Orientation.
Live On-Campus Orientation will take place in-person on August 20th & 21st for all
new, incoming Florida Poly undergraduate students.
Registration will open July 2023.
All undergraduate students are required to attend Live On-Campus Orientation before fall classes begin. A primary goal during Live On-Campus Orientation is to assist students and their families with the transition to attending and experiencing Florida Poly. The New Student & Family Programs team is dedicated to ensuring our new students are supported throughout their first semesters as a Phoenix. During Live On-Campus Orientation, you will learn about the Florida Poly curriculum and expectations, receive information on a variety of student services, explore ways to get involved with groups and events on campus, meet faculty and staff who will support your academic journey, and make new friends while starting the foundation of your Florida Poly school spirit.
Throughout the spring semester, Orientation Leaders will conduct a couple check-ins with their Live On-Campus Orientation new student groups. These check-ins are meant to ensure the ongoing success for all new students at Florida Poly.
As your student begins to make their transition to Florida Poly, we know that this will be a period of transition for you as well.
At Florida Poly, we consider parents and families to be partners in ensuring their student’s success. As partners, we look forward to working together with you to help you learn more about the college and get you involved in supporting the many programs and services Florida Poly has to offer.
The New Student & Family Programs team is excited to welcome our new Phoenix parents and families to Florida Poly! Parents and families are a vital part of their student’s transition to the university, and we value the support you will provide your student throughout their time at Florida Poly. This support begins with attending Parent & Family Orientation. Parent & Family Orientation allows you to learn about everything Florida Poly has to offer and to ask questions of other parents and family members, current students, university staff, and administrators.
Parent & Family Orientation will occur in Fall 2023 for all new Florida Poly parents and family members.
Be sure to plan ahead to spend the Family Day on campus with your Phoenix on September 23, 2023.
