Fall 2026: New Student & Family Orientation

Welcome to the University of San Francisco!

New Student & Family Orientation (NSFO) is scheduled to occur in person on Wednesday, Aug. 19, through Monday, Aug. 24. (Please note: Special Orientation programs will have different dates and times.)

Families are welcome to participate in our family orientation program. Family Orientation will begin on Wednesday, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m. and conclude by 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20.

Actively participating in orientation is an essential aspect of facilitating your transition into our USF community. All new first-year and transfer students are required to attend orientation.

Attending orientation provides new students and families the opportunity to:

• Gain a more concrete feel for the campus community
• Learn about campus resources
• Connect with faculty from your school/college, staff, and current students, including your Orientation Leader (OL)
• Learn what it means to be a student at USF

NSFO registration will close on Friday, July 17, 2026.
