FORTE is Oregon State's academic orientation event for all new undergrads to support their transition into OSU's learning environment. If you're a new first-year or transfer student starting at OSU in spring 2026, you're expected to attend and we can't wait to meet you!

During FORTE, you'll engage in an 80-minute keynote session that includes a student panel and key success strategies to support your academic onboarding to OSU.

Accommodation requests can be made and questions can be asked by contacting success@oregonstate.edu.
