Basecamp: New Student Orientation [in-person]

🔷 Welcome to FT Basecamp! Your Final Step before meeting with your Academic Advisor and getting registered for classes!

If you are looking at beginning classes for the fall term (the semester begins August 17), we have added orientation dates for July 28, August 4, August 6, August 11, and August 13 for students looking to begin classes this fall. Keep in mind, you do have the option of completing the orientation online, but if you prefer to attend in-person, please choose one of the above orientation dates. You must complete orientation prior to registering for classes. 

Now that you have met with your Onboarding Navigator, you should be able to...

• Access your account
• Understand and navigate Techlink
• Know where to go to complete financial aid forms

Your next step is completing orientation. We understand that some students prefer to complete the orientation in-person. You are in the right place!!
