Sign up now for your orientation!
Parents/Family Members: Sign up for our Parent and Family Orientation.
The new student orientation experience is not a stand-alone event that prepares you for the college experience. The IUP orientation program will engage you with tasks and activities before and after attending your program. Please read the content below to learn how to prepare yourself for this experience. Note there are some essential tasks that need to be completed to develop your first-semester course schedule. How to prepare for your orientation experience:
Parent and Family Member Orientation
- Accepted students will be invited to orientation after they pay their tuition deposit. The remainder of this checklist will review the essential steps students need to complete to prepare for the orientation experience.
- Register for Orientation. We will be opening the first-year student registration process in early March and the transfer registration in mid-March. Visit MyIUP to sign up for your program. An instructional video is also located there to assist with this process.
-
Twenty-four hours after you register for orientation, you will be able to access the HAWKS 100 course (first-year students) or HAWKS 102 course (transfer students) to complete some pre-program tasks. Freshmen are expected to complete the following essential items (found in the HAWKS 100 course) before they attend their orientation program:
-
Math placement testing
-
English guided self-placement process. This video provides an overview of how to access Math and English testing materials.
-
- Complete placement testing. Transfer students will be notified approximately one week before their program on what placement testing they will be required to complete.
- Continue to check your IUP email account. Incoming students will receive additional program details through their IUP email accounts. This is the official method of communication for the university. Please be sure to check your account frequently to receive information about your orientation program and other announcements through the summer months.
- After participating in your program, complete the HAWKS 101 course.
- Prepare for your Welcome Week experience.
- Participate in additional content-specific drop-in meetings that will be advertised through HAWKS 101.
