To help you prepare for success, Indiana University Southeast provides a comprehensive orientation program designed to help you make the most of your college experience.
You will have the opportunity to connect with current and fellow incoming students, learn about resources and how to get involved, and learn more about what it means to be a Grenadier.
Students starting classes in fall 2025 will have orientation over the summer. Dates and schedule will be released soon.
To RSVP for orientation, you need an IU Computing account.
This is different than the login you used to complete your application.
Please note that it can take up to 24 hours after creating your account before you can access it.
Students can also enroll in their Grenadier Guide on Canvas which contains information on Financial Aid, class registration, New Student Orientation, resources, and more.
Orientation is free for students and guests to attend.
If you need to get your CrimsonCard (your student ID) at orientation, you will need to bring a photo ID. Other than that, you do not need to bring anything to orientation.
You will be walking around campus both inside and outside, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
Students do not register for classes at orientation. All new students must meet with their academic advisor to register for classes.
To help you prepare for registration and for information on how to schedule your academic advising appointment, please go to the Academic Advising module in your Grenadier Guide.
It is not required for parents to attend orientation, but they are welcome to.
We do not have an alternative orientation you can attend if you are unable to make it on this date. For assistance or questions, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@iu.edu or 812-941-2212.
Yes, you are welcome to bring a friend or significant other, and they can attend your sessions with you if they want.
