First Year Advising Center

The First Year Advising Center fosters exploration and growth as new students transition to college. We provide tailored services and connections to campus resources that empower students to define their educational goals and achieve academic success.

FYAC at-a-glance:

• • Admitted for Fall 2025?
    • Register for New Student Orientation by visiting your admitted student portal here!
    • Your New Student Orientation in May, June or July will introduce you to your first year at OU and you will register for your first year courses. 
    • At your Campus Kickoff in August, you will experience a day-in-the-life of an OU college student. 
    • Save the date for New Student Welcome on Tuesday, September 2, 2025!
      
      

  • Appointments are for FYAC students who have attended New Student Orientation. 

    If you are a newly admitted summer or fall 2025 student who has not attended orientation, you will meet your adviser at New Student Orientation.  Following your orientation, you will be able to schedule an individual appointment, if needed.
