The Fall Semester FASET Orientation program for freshmen and their parents/guests is a full two-day program designed to orient both student and guest to the Georgia Tech community. Sessions are offered throughout July and August. Students stay on campus in a residence hall on the night of FASET, parents and guests can arrange accomodations in local hotels offering special rates to FASET participants.

The dates for Fall FASET 2008 are:
FASET 1: July 10-11
FASET 2: July 20-21
FASET 3: July 27-28
FASET 4: August 3-4
FASET 5:  August 13-14 (*Reserved for students who live 600 miles away or greater).

Students participating in Marching Band cannot attend session 5 due to Band Camp.

There is no advantage to attending one session over another. All students at each session have an equal chance of getting classes during course registration.

IMPORTANT!
Medical Records - Finalized Health Information Records must be received and confirmed as received by the Student Health Center prior to your attendance at a FASET session, and are required before a student can register. If you have not already done so, please return your completed Health Information Record immediately. For more information, call the Student Health Services at (404) 894-2584.
