The University of Southern Indiana offers two orientation programs to meet the individual needs of our students. Select and make reservations for the most appropriate session. 

New Student Orientation: Designed for students entering a university for the first time or for transferring students that have earned less than 19 credits at another institution.

Transfer and Nontraditional Student Orientation: Designed for students who are transferring 19 or more college hours from another college or university or a nontraditional student. Nontraditional students are 25 years of age or older who are attending college for the first time, or are returning after an extended absence. Transfer and nontraditional students may choose to attend the new student orientation session.

Students Not Needing To Attend Orientation:
- Students who have already earned a Bachelor's Degree or higher
- Students who are taking all their course through distance education
- Students who are employees of the University
If any of these applies to you, please contact the Office of Student Development Programs at 812/465-7167 or 800/350-7830 so we may waive your orientation requirement and direct you to the next step in registering for courses. 

Orientation is your opportunity to learn about the institution and get registered for your first semester of courses.
