Orientation at USU

The New Student Orientation process contains four modules that are designed to give you relevant information at the correct time.

Module 1: Pre-Registration

This module helps you prepare for your next steps at Utah State University. You’ll learn how to complete the FAFSA and explore financial aid, scholarships, and payment options. You’ll also get guidance on setting up housing, choosing a meal plan, and understanding deferment.

Plus, you’ll learn how to use the MyUSU Portal, submit your transcripts, connect with academic advising, and find a job on campus so you can start your Aggie experience feeling confident and prepared.

Module 2: Registration

Learn everything you need to register for classes at Utah State University, from setting up your USU email and Multifactor Authentication to accessing the Banner system. You’ll see how your previous credits apply at USU, find out how and when to register, learn about USU 1010 Connections, and review important dates and deadlines so you’re ready for your first semester as an Aggie.

Module 3: Aggie Orientation

You’ll learn about important campus resources like academic support, testing services, health and wellness, campus recreation, student involvement opportunities and how Aggie Orientation helps you start strong at Utah State University.

You’ll also get information on how financial aid is disbursed, how to set up your USU ID, parking and transportation options, and how to stay connected through USU’s social media - giving you the tools you need to succeed.

Module 4: Pre-Semester

Get ready for the final details you need before the semester begins, including required campus safety trainings for all incoming students. You’ll learn how to communicate with professors and roommates, sign up for Aggie Alerts, and understand key campus safety and cybersecurity practices.

You’ll also review USU’s drug and alcohol policy, explore mental health support resources, learn about campus traditions, and understand your options for notification of leave.
