General Orientaion
New students must complete Metropolitan State's New Student Orientation before their first registration. Orientation provides information regarding the General Education and Liberal Studies (html) (pdf) requirements, as well as a Program Information Meeting (PIM) related to your major. Through the New Student Orientation, you will be introduced to other key university resources and policies such as:
- Financial Aid

- Student Handbook
- Student Policies and Conduct
- Student Senate
- TRIO
- Writing Center
- plus much, much more.
COM students have two options for completing the New Student Orientation (NSO) and PIM:
- On-campus, in person two-hour NSO and two-hour PIM that includes personal assistance in logging onto your student account, and registering.
- Online Orientation
- enables you to complete New Student Orientation and the COM PIM online, anytime, at your own pace;
- replaces both the two-hour New Student Orientation and the two-hour COM PIM;
- waives the $10 Orientation fee;
- enables you to declare your major; if you have successfully completed your Foundation courses;
- enables you to review key material and skip sections that do not apply to you;
- connects you with the great resources available at Metropolitan State;
- provides opportunities to check your knowledge throughout the orientation.
Sign up for an on-campus Orientation or online Orientation as soon as possible. In addition, during the on-campus NSO, attend a required College of Management PIM, so you can get off to a great start at Metropolitan State!
