Costs
As part of your orientation registration, you will be required to pay associated fees, which cover operational and programming costs.
Orientation Fee Information
Your spot at orientation will be reserved upon completed registration and payment. All fees associated with orientation are nonrefundable.
Orientation fees are based on programming, content, and operational fees for each type of orientation. The freshman orientation experience is a robust program designed to guide you as you acclimate to college life. Summer/Fall 2024 students will select either an in-person or virtual session option. Incoming students are expected to participate in all orientation content regardless of format.
Discount for Pell-Eligible Freshmen
UWF offers a discounted orientation fee to first-year freshman students who qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. Eligibility is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The Department of Education has announced that it will delay sending FAFSA information to schools until March. As a result, UWF is unable to determine who may qualify for the discounted orientation fee available to students who receive a Federal Pell Grant.
If you completed the 2024-2025 FAFSA and your FAFSA submission confirmation email or Submission Summary indicates potential Pell Grant eligibility, please complete the Pell Eligible Orientation Fee Discount Request form and provide the requested documentation. This will allow UWF to consider you for an orientation fee discount.
