We are here to help your transition to the Big Blue Fredonia Family. Each semester we plan a required New Student Orientation for all incoming students (first-year and transfer) that takes place right before classes start.

FREDReady Enrollment Program
FREDReady is the first step of orientation for new undergraduate first-year and transfer students! Students will complete FREDReady and course registration advisement virtually several weeks prior to the start of the semester. FREDReady is a required experience that enables students to complete the items necessary to be enrolled.
STEP 1: FREDReady Mini-Course (June 23- July 17)
Students can do this at their own pace and must complete the course several weeks before the start of the semester. The FREDReady mini-course helps students learn how to complete many necessary enrollment items, as well as provides other important information regarding becoming a Fredonia student. All new students will be automatically enrolled in this mini-course and notified when it is live, instructions on how to log into FREDLearn are posted below:
- Click on the My.FRED link (also in the footer under "logins")
- Click on the “FREDLearn” button at the top of the page
- Log into FREDLearn using your e-Services username and password (just like you would for FREDmail)
STEP 2: Academic advising appointment (July 13-August 7)
- Students will have an opportunity to meet virtually with an academic advisor to finalize or make any necessary changes to their fall course schedule.
- Once a student completes the “Tools for Learning” lesson within the FREDReady mini-course, they will be sent an email (to their Fredonia email account) with a link to sign up for an individual academic advising appointment with an advisor.
