Gamecock Orientation
Welcome to the JSU Gamecock Orientation (GO!) Program! This is the place to get your college career off to a great start!
First-year students under the age of 25 are required to attend GO! before beginning their first semester at Jacksonville State University. We look forward to introducing you to a campus community filled with academic opportunities, rich traditions, and friendly people.
Our GO! Leaders can't wait to meet and get to know you. These enthusiastic guides know the JSU experience inside and out, and they are committed to providing you with all the tools you need to achieve academic and personal success. Each Orientation session is designed to meet the needs of you and your family so that you may grow and thrive at JSU.
Orientation is just the beginning of a very exciting time in your life; we hope that your GO! experience will be a most enriching and rewarding way to start your JSU journey!
