First-Year Students

Out of an abundance of caution and care for our incoming students and their families, all orientation programming will take place online. Registration for online orientation is now open!

New student orientation is a two-part process for all incoming first-year students at UNO and consists of online orientation and enrollment advising. Completing your online orientation and enrolling in classes is just the beginning of your college experience at UNO.

Online Orientation

Your orientation experience is completely facilitated online. This mandatory online orientation program will introduce you to success resources, academic expectations, and campus life at UNO. 

You can access online orientation via the Student Success Community course in your Canvas account located on your dashboard. 

Online orientation takes approximately 120 minutes to complete and can be completed in multiple sessions. The program is divided into modules that include video and written content and a short quiz that must be completed before moving onto the next module. After completing all of the required orientation modules, you must complete a comprehensive quiz. 

Online Orientation FY20 

Prior to meeting with your academic advisor, you must complete online orientation. The online orientation should be completed at least one-week prior to your advising appointment.

Enrollment Advising

After your online orientation requirement is complete, your next step is to sign up for an academic advising appointment to enroll in your fall semester classes. First year students will be able to schedule their advising appointments via MavTRACK after 1 full business day of completing orientation. More information and instructions will be provided to you as a part of online orientation.

Immunizations

You need to submit your immunization records to the Nebraska Medicine - UNO Health Center. See additional information about this process.
