Students that are freshman or transfer students with less than 60 credit hours will complete Screaming Eagles Orientation in three parts.
Part A: New Student Pre-Orientation
Pre-orientation is an online orientation that will provide you the necessary information you need to prepare for your advising and course registration appointment, in-person orientation and processes that may happen prior to your orientation session. It will provide information on advising and registration, housing, meal plans, technology at USI, etc. We ask that you complete this prior to your advising and course registration appointment and before coming to the in-person orientation. You can access this through your Admitted Student Task List in myUSI beginning March 1, 2023.
