What is orientation?
Orientation is a 2-day program for incoming students and their family. The program is designed to introduce students and their family to Baylor’s unique campus culture while meeting other students, faculty and staff. Students will have their very important first meeting with an academic advisor and register for classes. There will also be opportunities to hear important information about academics and campus life and have all your questions answered.
Orientation is your personal introduction into the APU community. This is your chance to receive answers to all of your spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social questions. Even if you have had siblings attend APU in the past, you will not want to miss Orientation because APU is an ever-evolving community and we upgrade policies and procedures every year. You can register for Orientation by visiting www.apu.edu/orientation/registration and completing the registration form. Make sure to have your credit card available when you register. You will need to register and pay for all family members and guests who plan to attend (each student is automatically billed $85 on the student financial account).
Orientation is an informative and fun program that will provide you with excellent opportunities to meet people, make new friends, and learn what it takes to be successful at UT Tyler. You will learn about ways to get involved on campus, academic resources, and how to locate things on campus. This year’s theme is Quest for Excellence, so we hope you will join our Quest to learn what it means to be a Patriot!
