Furman is a residential campus. If you are not married or planning to live at home with your parents or guardians, you are required to live on campus in university housing.

Furman offers a hybrid approach to acclimating students to academics and college life—Summer Orientation and Fall Orientation. We encourage our students to attend both sessions. Summer Orientation is a two-day event that offers new students and parents an opportunity to learn about our academics, meet with academic advisors, conduct important placement activities and register for fall classes. Learn how to register for one of our five summer orientation programs.

If you are living outside of the United States, we understand that coming to summer orientation might not be an option. Please complete the unable to attend summer orientation form. One of our faculty advising counselors will contact you to assist you with course selection after you complete the form. The deadline for completing this form is Monday, June 10. Please know that once you arrive at Furman, you will be able to take advantage of all of the opportunities offered at Summer Orientation.

Since most international students are unable to attend Summer Orientation, you are required to select your courses and submit them for approval using the course selection form. Download our course selection form as a PDF.

When you arrive in August, you will have the chance to meet with your academic advisor and change your course schedule, if necessary.

At Furman, you're required to complete a foreign language sequence. To better assess your proficiency in French, German or Spanish, take our online language placement test. You will receive a password for this exam at the end of our technology orientation. If you've studied Latin in the past, be sure to complete our test specifically designed for that language. Placement exams for other languages, such as Chinese or Japanese, may be completed during fall orientation. International students who have not taken a language other than English do not need to complete this placement test.
