Your Orientation 2022 Adventure
Welcome to our newest Cyclones!
If you are a new student who will begin classes in Summer or Fall 2022, you will have the opportunity to choose between OnCyte Orientation or online orientation. Once you have accepted your offer of admission, information will be emailed to you within a couple days outlining your next steps for orientation.
Students, don’t forget to plan to attend Destination Iowa State, held Thursday through Sunday before classes start. This event is a great way to kick-start your adventure as a Cyclone.
If you are a new student who will begin classes in Spring 2023, we are looking forward to sharing orientation registration details with you in October.
Go Cyclones!
Starting your adventure? We will map it out.
For those who have accepted your offer of admission and plan on starting your adventure in an upcoming term, orientation is designed to welcome you to campus and help you get familiar with Iowa State!
You will be able to register for your first semester classes, get to know Iowa State and important policies and procedures. It is also a great way to ease yourself into university life.
Orientation Your Way
Orientation is your hub of information to succeed as a Cyclone, and it is required of all new students. But you decide which orientation works best for you!
