Heat Advisory

Please bring a water bottle, and dress for warm weather!

Who Should Attend?

Please attend the New Student Orientation you are registered for. If you are not registered for a New Student Orientation date, please click the button below to get registered! We are not able to accommodate walk-ins, so please register for a date prior to attending.

Students are welcome to bring a family member or support person with them as a guest, but guests will be attending Family Orientations. While students and guests will attend the welcome together, please plan to spend the majority of the day in separate sessions. 

What Can I Expect?

Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes! You will be walking to multiple locations across campus.

You will attend a variety of helpful information sessions and spend time getting to know your future classmates!

Students that do not have any holds preventing them from registering will be able to meet with an academic advisor and get registered for their classes. That is why it is incredibly important to log into your ASSIST account and make sure you do not have any holds that will prevent you from enrolling in classes.

Common Holds & How to Resolve Them

Click the button below to review a list of holds you might see on your ASSIST account and how you can resolve them.

If you have the TSI Deficient hold, you do not need to schedule an advising appointment. You will meet with an Academic Advisor at New Student Orientation.

If you have have a meningitis hold or you are missing any section of the TSI Assessment, you will not be able to enroll in classes during your academic advising session. If either of these items are missing, please bring the physical documents with you to New Student Orientation to ensure you can enroll in classes.
