New Cru Orientation
Welcome, future UMHB students! We’re excited for you to join the UMHB Family. Your next step is to participate in New Cru Orientation, UMHB’s official introduction to campus for incoming undergraduate students. Whether entering UMHB from high school (incoming freshmen) or from another college or university (transfer students), accepted students will have the opportunity to attend a variety of sessions at orientation to help them transition to UMHB. During orientation, students will also be advised and registered for classes. At the end of the day, students will know their course schedules for the upcoming semester!
Registering for New Cru Orientation is required for all incoming undergraduate students since orientation programming includes the required processes of meeting with an academic advisor and registering for courses for your upcoming semester at UMHB. If registering for the January session of New Cru Orientation, students will have the option to complete their advising appointment virtually (via Zoom) in advance of attending the on-campus orientation program.
NOTE: Students who are being readmitted to UMHB after 1 or more semesters away from campus ALSO need to register for New Cru Orientation. While readmitted students are not required to attend orientation, they must complete an academic advising appointment to be registered for classes. To be assigned an advisor and schedule an appointment, they must register for New Cru Orientation.
