Move in early. Get connected. Start strong.

FYE Flight School

Flight School is Housing & Residence Life’s college readiness program designed for new students living on campus. Before fall classes begin, participants move into their residence hall early and have dedicated time to settle into campus, meet other students, explore resources, and build confidence before the excitement of the first week begins.

Flight School is designed for students who would benefit from extra time and support transitioning to college. Through activities, campus connections, and helpful sessions, students will learn what they need to know to feel comfortable and prepared both inside and outside the classroom.

Flight School will take place September 22–25, 2026

More information about Flight School, including how to apply and participate, will be sent to eligible incoming students by Housing & Residence Life in early August. Keep an eye on your Oregon Tech email for updates!
