Welcome to the FranU Campus Community!
Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University’s Wolfpack Orientation is designed to provide you with a conducive space to make valuable connections, become more acquainted with the campus and its services and gather helpful tips toward a successful and formative experience at FranU.
If you have any questions, please contact Tyler Trahan, Director of the Department of Franciscan Student Life & Servant Leadership, at 225-526-1694 or by email.
New student orientation, or what we call Wolfpack Orientation, is a required program for incoming students. Those students who have been readmitted to FranU, meaning they have taken classes previously at FranU, can choose to attend orientation if they wish to receive updated information. Students who are participating in online programs, dual enrollment or certificate tracks are not required to attend orientation.
Admitted students must schedule an advising appointment and meet with an advisor prior to orientation. Information on how to schedule advising appointments is sent to students within their "Admitted Student Checklist" email and on their applicant portal. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Advising at 225-526-1620.
Students not yet admitted to FranU may contact the Office of Admissions at 225-526-1631.
One family member/guest is invited but is not required to attend orientation. However, we strongly encourage their attendance, especially if this is their student’s first university experience. Since the information presented is new, it really helps to have someone else to assist in remembering all of the details.
Wolfpack Orientation takes place in St. Francis Hall.
5414 Brittany Dr.Baton Rouge, LA 70808
There will be parking and direction signs around the campus for your convenience. You may also reference the campus map for St. Francis Hall (Building #9). The parking lot between building #10 and #11 is for orientation parking. You can download a current campus map by scrolling to the bottom of this page and download the Campus Map under "Resources".
The cost of orientation is $50 and $25 for guest. The fee covers all expenses for program materials, lunch, parking tag and student ID. Any orientation fee is non-refundable. Should you decide not to attend FranU, you are responsible for notifying the Office of Admissions at 225-526-1631.
Lunch will be provided by Chick-Fil-A. Alternative meal options are available for those with dietary restrictions.
New students will receive their student ID and parking tag at orientation. New students will take their headshots at their academic advising appointment. However, if you choose to have your academic advising appointment via Zoom, your academic adviser will provide instructions. To submit your parking tag form, you can download the Parking Tag Instructions Form.
There is no dress code requirement; however, typical attire for orientation is casual and comfortable. We suggest you bring a light jacket. Comfortable shoes are recommended
New students for the Fall 2024 semester that would like to take the ALEKS exam, whether it be their first or additional attempt, can sign up to take the exam after orientation ends. Please click the button below to schedule your date or look for the link in your orientation registration confirmation email. If the date for your orientation session is full, you're welcome to schedule the exam for another time!
