What Orientation is for
You’ll spend the day with current students and other new Jaguars while you get familiar with campus, academic expectations, and the offices you may need during your first semester.
- Meet an Orientation Leader and students who are starting alongside you.
- Practice finding the campus spaces you’ll use.
- Ask questions and leave with clear next steps.
Online Welcome and ORIE 0001
These are two separate parts of the new-student experience.
Online Welcome is completed through your enrollment portal. ORIE 0001 is a separate course in D2L with its own assigned work and due dates.
Use the instructions in each system and your latest Augusta University messages.
New Student Orientation is planned, hosted, and executed by the Office of New Student & Family Transitions for incoming undergraduate students.
