Transfer Student Orientation and Registration

Welcome to Austin Peay! We understand transferring from one institution to the next can be stressful. You and your family may have questions about next steps, APSU and college life in general. To assist with this and answer your questions, APSU offers an online module for Governors Orientation (GO).

Online Orientation will open on March 2 for Summer and Fall 2026!

Things you should know about Orientation for 2026! 

All incoming students have the option to complete advising and orientation online beginning March 2. Please keep an eye on your APSU email for additional instructions. 

Optional In-person Orientation Sessions will occur throughout the summer.  

There are morning and afternoon sessions on June 10 and July 15. If you choose to attend, you only need to attend ONE.  Please see timeframes below:

All new students must complete the online GO module before they will be connected with an academic advisor for course registration.
