The parent checklist was created to assist new students and their parents as they transition to college. In the checklist you will find lists of items that will need to be completed prior to your student's first day of classes.
Your student is able to choose their Orientation date as soon as their $75 enrollment confirmation fee is paid. When payment is received, an invitation will be sent to the e-mail address they used to apply to the university with a registration link. Clicking on this link will bring them to a portal in which they can select their Orientation date. Dates are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so the sooner your student accesses their invitation, the more scheduling flexibility they'll have. For more details about Orientation, visit our FAQ page.
The second phase of Orientation is called Victorfest. Victorfest is also required for all first time freshmen. During this phase, students will learn about additional resources to help them succeed at NKU, connect with their future classmates, and have the opportunity to join on-campus organizations. The event typically takes place on the weekend before the beginning of the fall semester. Students will receive more details about Victorfest in their emails over the summer!
