We are proud that you have chosen to become a member of the NKU family! In order to assist you with your transition to NKU, all new students are required to attend Orientation. This is a half-day program, educating you on the many services that Northern Kentucky University has to offer. In addition to learning more about NKU, this orientation program will answer questions you may have about college and help you begin to build a strong success network at NKU. Before looking into Orientation, make sure you've completed Veteran Student Welcome Checklist.
Military & veteran first-time freshmen, as well as veteran dependents may attend any of the available 2025 Orientation programs, but are encouraged to attend the programs held on June 9th and June 12th. There, students will have the opportunity to work through military benefits paperwork with a representative from the Veterans Resource Station.
