What is FASET?

FASET is your first opportunity to connect with the Georgia Tech community and begin building a sense of belonging before classes start. Throughout the day, you'll meet fellow incoming students, engage with staff and current students, and learn about the resources, opportunities, and support systems available to help you succeed at Tech.

While you'll also receive academic advising and register for classes, FASET is about more than creating your schedule - it’s about building connections, finding your community, and starting your Georgia Tech journey with confidence.

We can't wait to see you!
