Email orientation@uwf.edu and indicate that you are an international student and wish to register for UWF Orientation. The UWF Orientation costs $41.99 (U.S.), which you can pay after you arrive. At the UWF Orientation you will be assigned an academic advisor and registration appointment time. UWF Orientation for Transfer Students: 3rd and 4th year students (juniors and seniors) is not required, but it is strongly recommended. Please make sure you come to the International Center first for your Immigration and Insurance Check-In to be approved. If you do not, then you will not be able to register. On-campus housing will be available for students attending UWF Orientation .
