Congratulations on your acceptance!  We are glad that you are joining us. Current and recently graduated students tell us that IUP will provide you a college experience Beyond Expectations! You are choosing an exciting and enriching new way of life.  We know that students who are most successful are somewhat familiar with the campus before they arrive, understand the expectations of being a college student, have met some fellow students and know how to get involved. As well, proper advising and appropriate course selection are critical to success. Our Orientation program was established to help get you on a path to success. 

PREPARE TO ATTEND ORIENTATION BY READING and DOING THE FOLLOWING:

1. The orientation and testing is mandatory.  It is important that you be placed in classes that will both challenge you and be suitable for your present level of proficiency.
    

2. Follow this link to enroll for Orientation

3. When we receive your completed enrollment form, we will mail you a letter with the times of the program, information about the check-in site and where on our website to find sample tests and a campus map.

4. The program begins at 7:15 am for those needing math placement exams and 8:00 am for those not requiring placement exams.

5. If you need to be excused from work to attend this mandatory orientation, we can give you an excuse on our office stationery.  Check the proper box on the enrollment form.
    

6. Be sure to submit an official, final transcript to the Office of Admissions at IUP, if possible, BEFORE your Orientation date.  Follow this link to learn more about AP, CLEP, and transfer credits.
    

7. If you have a physical, learning, medical, psychological or other disability, please indicate this on the enrollment form and also complete and return the “Declaration of Disability” form. Indicate the accommodations needed during Orientation on your enrollment form AS WELL.

When contacting us by phone (724-357-4067), or email, we will need your ID number in addition to your name.  This will enable us to access your records and provide you the information you are requesting.
