Fall Adult Orientation

Fall Adult Learner Orientation is designed for new Adult Learners (Freshman 21+) beginning their studies at UL Lafayette during the fall semester. During Orientation, you will have the opportunity to meet other incoming students, learn about university resources, discuss important tips for a successful transition to college life, meet with an academic advisor in your area of study and register for classes. Members of our Student Orientation Staff will help you understand what it means to be a student on our campus and will guide you through the experience.

Orientation Dates

*Please note: Students who schedule Fall Semester classes on or after the Fall Tuition and Fees Payment Deadline of August 26, 2024 will incur a $50 late course registration fee that will be applied to their Tuition and Fees. Students are encouraged to schedule classes before this date to avoid this late fee.
