General/Transfer Students

Orientation & Registration is now available to general/first-year and transfer students looking to start in Fall 2024.

The Fall 2024 semester begins on August 26, 2024.

To begin your Orientation & Registration and see your next steps, select the tab below with your starting semester. 

  • Step 1: Complete the Online Orientation Request Survey.

     

    Once you complete the Online Orientation Request Survey, you will be enrolled in Step 2: Online Orientation and provided instructions on how to access and complete Online Orientation via email.

     

    After completing Online Orientation, you will be assigned an Academic Advisor and move to Step 3: Advising/Registration Appointment, where you will meet with your advisor to discuss your upcoming semester, course registration, and final steps before the semester begins. This appointment is offered on-campus or virtually via Zoom. Phone appointments can be accommodated, but appointments will not be conducted if a student is driving or distracted in another manner – you will be asked to reschedule should this occur.

     

    Complete Step 1: Online Orientation Request Survey for General & Transfer Students, and you will receive information on Step 2: Online Orientation in 1-2 business days.
