STEP 2:  Sign up for First-Time First Year Orientation & CBE Registration Workshop

Beginning May 5th you will receive communication to sign up for Orientation.  As a First Time First Year student, you will need support for Advising and Registration for your first semester.  It is strongly recommended that you choose the In-Person Option due to its advantages:

• You’ll leave registered for your first semester.
• You’ll become familiar with the campus.
• You’ll build relationships with your peers.

CHOOSE THE BEST OPTION FOR YOU:

• OPTION 1: In-Person Orientation & Registration (Recommended Option)
  • By choosing the In-Person Orientation you will automatically be signed up for the in-person Major Advising and Registration Workshop, on the same day. No further steps are required.
• OPTION 2: Hybrid Orientation & In-Person Registration
  • If you opt for the Hybrid Orientation, you'll complete the orienation online.
  • Additionally, when you sign up you are required to select a day to visit the campus for an in-person Major Advising & Registration Workshop.

Note: Your advising hold will be released once you check-in at the Major Advisng & Registration Workshop.

 

If you opt for Hybrid New Titan Orientation & Advising and have a serious and compelling reason that prevents you from attending the In-Person Major Advising & Registration Workshop, you will use this Registration Guide (PDF) to register on your own. Afterward, you must complete a Make-Up Major Advising & Registration Workshop.

 

Non-Business majors will attend New Titan Orientation & Advising for their current major and will use this Registration Guide (PDF) to register for courses to meet Business major requirements. Starting on the first day of the fall semester, submit the Change of Plan (Major/Minor) form   to officially change your major.
