Welcome & Introduction

Overview

Welcome to the Online Orientation for Newly Admitted Students at Morgan State University. This comprehensive program is designed to acquaint you with the essential services and resources available to aid your academic success. The orientation is structured into eight sequential modules, each containing critical information that will enhance your understanding of our campus operations and offerings. The format is self-paced, allowing flexibility to accommodate your schedule; however, it includes several time-sensitive elements specified deadlines must be completed. Typically, the entire orientation can be completed in about one hour.

Please note that a "New Student Advising" hold will be placed on your account. This hold is mandatory to ensure you engage with the orientation and subsequently meet with your designated advisor—whether a first-year advisor, transfer coordinator, or academic advisor—before you can register for courses. Only after these advising requirements are met will the hold be removed, enabling you to enroll in classes.

Keep in mind that the course registration for the fall 2024 semester begins on Monday, April 29, 2024.

As you progress through each module, a checkmark will appear on the main screen to indicate your completion, allowing you to track your progress effectively and move on to subsequent modules confidently. This orientation is a pivotal first step in your journey at Morgan State University, ensuring you are well-prepared to embark on your academic career with us.
