Virtual Orientation
24 hours after you've paid your $200 tuition deposit or have had it waived, log into your my.fiu.edu account, 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 successfully complete your Virtual Orientation:
- Any pop-up blockers within your Internet browser must be turned off in order to access the Virtual Orientation.
- Let all videos play through on their own...if you try to skip ahead, it will not let you continue.
- You can stop and restart where you left off by going back to the link in your MyFIU account.
- Stay active within the Virtual Orientation to ensure that you don't time out of the system and lose your progress.
- If you've followed these suggestions, but are still having technical difficulties, send an email with your name, Panther ID, a detailed description of the problem and any relevant screen shots to orient@fiu.edu for assistance.
Transfer Orientation/Academic Advising
Once you've completed the Virtual Orientation, in order to have your hold removed and register for classes, you will need to 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 a Transfer Orientation.
- Transfer Orientation is a one-day program from 8 am - 3 pm, either remote or in-person. You are to choose a date based on preference/availability. Our program is designed for you to dive deeper into resources to support your success, get additional questions answered, connect with fellow students and register for your first semester of classes.
