Students' First Year

A seamless transition

IU Bloomington is committed to providing incoming students everything they need to make their first year of college an easy transition.

This starts from the moment they set foot on campus for New Student Orientation and ends once classes conclude in May.

New Student Orientation allows students to register for classes, explore campus, and discover what it means to be a Hoosier.

Students are provided with tools and assistance in choosing a major with specialized and general career services available across campus.

Advising begins during orientation and continues throughout the year as students schedule classes or decide on a major.
