FASET is an acronym for "Familiarization and Adaptation to the Surroundings and Environs of Tech," an orientation program for new students and their parents, families, and guests. It is the first step in making a successful transition to Tech. Each first-year FASET Orientation session lasts one day, and there are many sessions to choose from throughout the summer.  

During orientation, students will receive academic advisement, register for their first semester courses, and complete other important business. In addition, new students and their parents and guests will hear presentations from various campus services, student organizations, and institute departments on a variety of academic, business and social components. Most importantly, students, parents, and guests will have an opportunity to meet with faculty, staff, administrators, and current students as well as fellow incoming students and guests. You won't want to miss out on FASET.

The Fall First-Year Virtual FASET Session on July 8 is at capacity. We recommend registering for another session that works with your schedule and submitting a Change of Session request form in your FASET portal. Should space become available at your requested session, students will be moved to that session in the order their request form was received. This is the only process for requesting to join session that is already full.
