Dog Days: New Student Orientation
New student orientation at Fresno State is a program designed to help new students successfully transition to the university. Whether students are freshmen or transferring from another institution, DOG DAYS will help them get a successful start at Fresno State.
At DOG DAYS, new students receive general education advising, major advising, campus tours, and access to student services, and they can register for classes. All new students are expected to attend orientation.
DOG DAYS is mandatory for all incoming freshmen. The only exceptions are students who are part of special programs that have their own new student orientation experience.
While DOG DAYS is not at this time mandatory for incoming transfer students, they are strongly encouraged to attend. Among other benefits attendees receive, new transfer students may register for classes sooner than those who do not attend.
