  • Your full name
  • Your UAFS ID number

Transfer and readmitted students are encouraged to attend Lion Launch (virtual orientation) as their primary in-person orientation experience.

However, if you are unable to attend a scheduled Lion Launch date, you may attend a Mane Event session instead to fulfill your in-person orientation requirement.

Both options are designed to help you successfully transition to UAFS by providing important information about academics, student resources, technology, and campus involvement.

If you are unsure which option is best for you, please contact the Office of New Student and Family Programs for guidance at LionFamilyFREEuafs.
