Orientation Sneak Peek

The First Year Advising Center will provide admitted first year students, along with parents and family members, a sneak peek to their upcoming orientation experience by sharing the inside scoop on OU majors and first year courses.

Register for one of two virtual Orientation Sneak Peek sessions: 

Students will learn:

  • What courses are recommended in the first year for their major
  • Information about OU placement tests needed before orientation
  • How incoming college credit or AP/IB scores will be used in determining their course recommendations
  • How to get a head start on selecting course options before orientation and more!

While students are not able to register for courses during this program, they will learn what to expect during New Student Orientation so they are more prepared for the registration process.
