Spring Orientation and Enrollment

Online orientation and enrollment for students entering in the spring semester begins with completing your New Student Success Modules and Math Placement Exam prior to your registered enrollment date. Then, on your orientation dates, you will attend an online orientation program, learn about campus resources, and meet your advisor to discuss majors and course options prior to enrolling in classes.

Fall Orientation and Enrollment

Orientation and enrollment programs for students entering OSU in the summer or fall are being created now and options will be announced soon. On your orientation date, you will attend an online orientation program, learn about campus resources, and meet your advisor to discuss majors and course options prior to enrolling in classes.

 

Can Family Members or Guests Participate in Orientation?

While we hope they will join you, family participation is optional. Family members will have access to the parent materials and are invited to join you in learning about campus resources. We strongly encourage a family member to participate in orientation and enrollment sessions designed for them if possible so that you have someone else to gather important information.
