Complete onboarding process with your hiring academic department.
Once you complete this process you’ll receive your NetID and password, which you will need to access your OU email, course pages, and more. For more on hiring documents and policies, see HR's New Faculty Resources page.
Share your photo and bio.
Every year we welcome new faculty, highlighting the expertise coming to Oakland University. Access the new faculty photo and bio form for guidance. (Find out who is your account manager before scheduling your free professional head shot).
Prepare your syllabus.
In our Syllabus Starter Guide you’ll gather OU syllabus resources, do some initial tinkering, and further develop your syllabi.
Begin building your Moodle course page. (Or at least learn about Moodle!)
OU uses Moodle as its learning management system, and all courses automatically receive a page. In our Moodle Starter Guide, you’ll be introduced to the basics and given a practice space.
Emergency Notification sign up.
Sign up for Emergency Alerts - Oakland University Police Department. You'll need your Grizzly ID number (G##-###-###) to do so. This gives you timely updates if the campus is closed for weather and other emergencies.
If you have questions related to these steps, reach out to us at the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (cetl@oakland.edu or in-person/virtual meeting) or to the office related to each step.
