The article explores the matters of the university students’ sport orientation from the author’s viewpoint on the informed and conscious selection of university sport by the first-year students being pivotal both for their self-fulfilment in the physical education and sport domain for the whole academic education period and for their further physical self-improvement for the rest of their lives. Objective of the study was to analyze the efficiency of the first-year students sport orientation system based on a set of institutional and practical actions to help the students make an informed and conscientious choice of a sport within the academic physical education curriculum.
The study was performed at the premises of Surgut State University in the period of 2014-16. Subject to the questionnaire surveys at different stages of the study were more than 2500 first- and second-year university students majoring in different bachelor training disciplines.

Some 85% of the students surveyed reported being happy with how their expectations were met by the chosen academic sport activity; and more than 94% were found fully satisfied with the academic physical education process organization and management system.
