The FASET Orientation program is designed to help students complete important college business prior to arriving for classes (academic advisement, course registration, student ID, book purchases, campus resources, banking options, and area services); to educate students on the academic and social atmosphere of Georgia Tech; to provide a forum for you to get involved with student organizations; and to incorporate students into the campus community. FASET gives you the information you need to know now that you are a Tech student. Events hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admission and are designed to give you a glimpse of the GT experience for you to better make or learn more about your college decision

All FASET related fees will be billed to the student's account through Georgia Tech's Bursar Office, (404) 894-4618. These charges will be placed on the student's account before the start of classes.

FASET Orientation provides you the earliest and most convenient way to register for classes. Students who do not attend FASET will not be able to register for classes until the conclusion of all FASET sessions.

To change your information with the FASET program, such as your chosen session for the summer or number of guests attending, you may do so on your Admission Portal in your FASET Registration page while registration is still open and using a change request form. Students are limited to one guest, but this is all based on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is not a guarantee based on space limitation.

To update your permanent address, you may edit your information by visiting buzzport.gatech.edu. Click "application details" under the application quick view tab, then select "notify undergraduate admission." Once the option opens, you can update your information as needed.

While FASET is not mandatory for any student, attendance is highly recommended. The program helps to facilitate the transition process into Georgia Tech and provides the earliest and most convenient advisement and registration process. Students who attend FASET have a much smoother transition to campus.

All students entering Georgia Tech are required to submit their immunization information to satisfy the Board of Regents immunization requirements. It is highly recommended that the requirements be completed with your family physician or at Stamps Health Services prior to starting classes. All immunization requirements and the associated forms may be found at Stamps' webpage. Please read all the information carefully and submit the forms by downloading and entering the information as the instructions direct. If you need assistance, please contact them at immunizations@health.gatech.edu or at (404) 894-1432.

If you and your student are attending a FASET session and are lacking any of the requirements, you may come to Stamps Health Services and receive any or all of the required immunizations. Please call 404-385-4995 for an appointment.

You can change your FASET registration by logging into your Admission Portal, then visiting the FASET Registration system and using the change request form. Students are only allowed one FASET change (this does not include changes for sessions caused due to cancellation of sessions due to COVID-19). If they change more than once, they will be assessed a $25 change fee which is applied to their student account with all other FASET fees.

FASET is the first opportunity to register for classes, not the final one. There is typically a lot of activity in Phase II registration and we find that students who could not get the classes they wanted or needed at FASET typically do get them in Phase II registration. Also, after the FASET cycle, the academic units are looking at available seats and making adjustments in anticipation of Phase II registration. Our primary focus is to get the students enrolled full-time in the classes they need, not necessarily in the classes they would prefer at the times they would prefer, with the instructor they would prefer, etc. We will try our best to have the students enrolled full-time in classes that apply to degree requirements. If there are concerns as Phase II registration begins, the student should first contact their academic advisor and then contact the Registrar’s Office as needed.

Students who opt for an overnight stay are provided a pillow, sheets, and a towel. The rooms do get cold, so it is suggested to bring a blanket.

Virtual - 11:30am to 5pm
In-Person - 7:15am to 6pm

Housing assignments are sent out throughout the summer. Please visit Housing and Residence Life website for specific information for your entering term.

FASET is a great program that will introduce you to the resources and traditions that make Georgia Tech unique. Though you may have completed an orientation at your past institution, we strongly urge you to attend FASET. One major reason, is that it will allow you to meet your advisor and receive guidance on your first GT class registration process. With short turnarounds between past semesters and the beginning of your Tech career, these sessions allow clarification and an opportunity to review with your college and advisor.

Wreck Camp is an extended orientation experience for incoming students to Georgia Tech. The three programs offered focus on helping incoming students transition to Tech through creating connections with other students, learning many Tech traditions, developing leadership skills, and having fun in a summer-camp setting. Incoming students will also connect with upperclassmen student leaders who will lead them throughout camp. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss!

NO! All Wreck Camp programs offer a variety of activities appealing to all types of students.

All cancellations and changes must be made in writing to the New Student & Transition Programs office at transitionprograms@studentlife.gatech.edu a minimum of fifteen business days (weekend days are not business days).

We strongly encourage you to get dropped off on campus as Wreck Camp does not provide parking accommodations. However, if getting dropped of is not an option, please register indicating that you need a temporary parking permit. Our staff will ensure you have all of the information you need to purchase a permit before arriving to camp. 

"Wreck Camp" - "Hell Yeah!" our favorite call and response!

Good question! No, Wreck Camp is not an outdoor camping program. Wreck Camp is similar to a “summer camp” that you either attended or saw in movies. Depending upon your program, you will be staying on campus or at a retreat center with cabins and air conditioning. If you are interested in doing an outdoor trip before starting at Tech, look at Tech Treks through the Campus Recreation Center.

Currently, there is not a preferred FASET that Wreck Camp participants should attend. If you are coming from out of state, please note that the later FASET dates are reserved for those coming from long distances and back up to our Wreck Camp dates.

Wreck Camp ATL - $275
Wreck Camp Odyssey - $375

No, we are requiring students to stay on campus during Camp ATL so that they are able to gain the full camp experience.

The Wreck Camp Coordinator will send all registrants an email two weeks prior to the campus with basic logistics of how the camp will run/ reminders. One week prior to the camp, all registrants should be on the lookout for an email from their small group leaders (A small group is the group you will be with for the duration of the camp!)
