What is TROT? TROT (Transition, Registration, Orientation, Transformation) is the in-person Orientation summer program that welcomes all new students to Fayetteville State University. It is an opportunity for all new students to begin their journey to graduation. Designed specifically for admitted students at Fayetteville State University, this program aims to guide them through their initial steps in Bronco Land.

During Orientation, you’ll interact with current students, faculty, and staff, undergo placement testing, register for the upcoming semester’s courses, engage with Orientation Leaders, and familiarize yourself with campus resources. Upon completion, you’ll have a finalized course schedule and fulfilled all pre-entry tasks from the “My To-Do List” in Broncoville.

 

Representatives from diverse campus resources will be present for assistance.
