Virtual Orientation
24 hours after you've paid your $200 tuition deposit or have had it waived, log into your my.fiu.edu account, and click the Orientation tile. Here you will see more information and be connected to the portal to begin your Virtual Orientation. Upon completion, you will be charged $35.
Follow these suggestions to complete your Virtual Orientation:
- Disable any pop-up blockers temporarily on your internet browser to access the Virtual Orientation
- Let all of the videos play through on their own. Skipping ahead will prevent you from progressing forward in the module.
- You may stop if necessary and continue where you left off by going back to the link in your MyFIU account
- Stay active within the Virtual Orientation to ensure that you do not time out of the system and lose your progress
- If you followed these instructions and still have technical difficulties, then send an email with your name, Panther ID, a detailed description of the problem, and any relevant screenshots to orient@fiu.edu for assistance
First-Year Orientation/Academic Advising
Once you complete the Virtual Orientation, to have your hold removed and register for classes, you must fully complete your orientation process in one of two ways depending on your admitted degree program:
- Students in standard degree programs will sign up for First-Year Orientation.
- First-Year Orientation is an on-campus or remote (via Zoom), one-day program designed for you to dive deeper into resources to support your success, ask additional questions you may have, and connect with fellow students.
- Details about signing up for First-Year Orientation, class registration, and what you should do to prepare are detailed below.
- If you are a student in a fully-online degree program (will never take classes on campus), you should schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor via your Panther Success Network in MyFIU under the "Academic Advising" tile. For questions on advising appointments, please reach out to your academic college directly.
