Freshman Orientation and Registration
Welcome to Austin Peay! As you begin your college journey, please know we're here to help. The best time to learn about life at APSU is during Governors Orientation (GO), where we'll answer your questions, introduce academic and support services, highlight campus activities and help you register for classes. If you cannot attend any of the in-person orientation sessions due to extenuating circumstances, you can request access to online orientation after April 15th. These requests will be reviewed and a decided on a case-by-case basis.
**To register for your Governors Orientation date, please use the email and password you used to apply to APSU.
