Undergraduate Orientation

Welcome to your first year

Congratulations on your acceptance to IU Southeast! We want you to be successful in college, so all new students are required to attend the New Student Orientation program prior to beginning classes at IU Southeast. Orientation is the first step in your transition to IU Southeast.

You will partner with knowledgeable students, faculty, and staff who will guide you through your orientation. The program will help you discover and learn about the many resources that IU Southeast has to offer. You will also meet with an academic advisor, register for classes, and learn about everything you will need to know for your first semester.

Remember, orientation is all about answering your questions—so, along the way, never hesitate to ask!

Due to COVID-19, all New Student Orientation activities, including registration for Spring 2021 classes, will be delivered virtually via Canvas and Zoom.

Below are some common questions:

Yes, we still want you to register for an orientation date.

An email confirmation is distributed following online registration.

If you registered and did not receive a confirmation email, please contact Cayla Maurer at 812-941-2366 or caymaure@iu.edu.

Our goal is the help you make the transition to IU Southeast as smooth as possible. Orientation provides you with information about academics, campus resources, services and support systems, and much more. You will be introduced to current students, other incoming students, and your academic advisor.

No, orientation is not mandatory. However, we highly encourage you to go through the virtual orientation as there is a lot of important information on how to register for classes, how to receive your CrimsonCard, and how to setup an appointment with your academic advisor. All the information in the modules is designed to help you succeed at IU Southeast.

We are not hosting campus visits at this time. However, virtual tours, phone calls, and other alternative means are available.

Yes. On your registered orientation date, you will get a link to meet other incoming students and orientation leaders. This is your chance to talk to others and ask questions. You will receive more information about this via your IU email.

You can schedule an appointment with your academic advisor online.
