What is online orientation?
Online orientation consists of six modules for you to complete (Program Planning, Learning Resources, Rights and Responsibilities, Success Strategies, Library, Registration).
After you complete the modules, you must take a comprehensive quiz on the modules. Each quiz is graded manually; if you pass, the grade will be entered on your academic record.
What is on-campus orientation?
On-campus orientations are hosted on the St. Paul campus, and typically last around three hours. On-campus orientation is required for freshman, those admitted on probation, and Power of YOU students.
You will be billed a $10 nonrefundable fee when registering for on-campus orientation (if you miss your original orientation and sign up for a later date, you will be charged for each session you register for).
