Orientation

Congratulations on becoming a Spartan!

We are incredibly excited to meet you! In order to register for classes, you must attend a mandatory orientation session called Orientation Part 1 - Getting Started: Preparing for Advising and Registration.

 

This session is approximately 60-90 minutes and will be hosted online via Zoom. When possible, we recommend that students plan to join these sessions from a computer or laptop rather than a mobile device. It will introduce your next steps and the technology you will need to move forward as a Spartan. 

 

Important Reminder: Complete your application before attending Orientation Part 1. To apply, log onto our Admissions Portal , create an account, and complete your application. Check out this short video if you need help.

 

Upcoming session dates are listed below and additional sessions will be added regularly. Through August, multiple sessions will be offered each week at varying times. We encourage you to complete Orientation Part 1 as early as possible.
