In-Person or Virtual Orientation New students are required to attend either an In-Person or Virtual Orientation session after completing Pre-Orientation. Attend either an in-person or virtual orientation session where you’ll be able to connect with an advisor and attend sessions to prepare you for your first term at PSU. In-person Orientation Sessions include: community-based and informational breakout sessions, academic advising meetings to review your schedule and arrange further advising appointments, the opportunity to get your student ID, campus tours, and resource center open houses. Virtual Orientation Sessions are an opportunity for you to meet with academic advisors and get tips for being a successful student at PSU. You’ll have the opportunity to attend virtual sessions with information on remote learning, academic success strategies, campus resources, and more. Students will sign up for an Orientation session prior to completing PreOrientation, but the Pre-Orientation online module will need to be completed before attending an Orientation session.
