We are so excited to help you navigate the next chapter of your GVSU journey. New Student Orientation is required and is intended to help you transition into life as a GV Laker. Signing up for Orientation and paying the Orientation fee is also how you indicate your commitment to attend GVSU. We host distinct Orientation experiences for first year students and transfer students, unique to each group's needs. Both Orientation types include time with an academic advisor to register for classes. Your next step is to sign up for Orientation through the link below. Please note that you will receive additional information after you sign up to help you prepare.
We are very excited for you to join Grand Valley State, and look forward to seeing you soon!
Orientation sign-up for students starting in the Fall 2025 semester is now open.
The Orientation fee is $150 for incoming freshmen and $100 for incoming transfer students. International students do not pay this fee. If you have questions about the Orientation fee, please contact the Admissions and Recruitment Office at (616) 331-2025 or at [email protected].
