Spring Orientation | New Student Orientation | SIU

Phase One: Pre-Orientation Videos

Spring students: Video modules within MyCourses will be available by mid-November.

Participation in the pre-orientation modules will serve as an introduction to the MyCourses platform. Phase one is required for incoming freshman and strongly encouraged for transfer students. 

In this phase, you will complete a series of modules that will provide important information for your next steps as a Saluki including information on Financial Aid, University Housing, bill paying options, and much more.

The online pre-orientation modules should be completed prior to your orientation date. These modules can be completed at your own pace, and will take approximately two hours to complete.
