Congratulations on your decision to become a student at Parker University! We believe you have made the right decision, and we hope you are excited about the wonderful learning experiences and challenges that await you.
Things to know about your New Student Orientation:
  1. Complete the DC Orientation Packet. The packet is required before registration in Trimester One courses and should be completed by August 6, 2021 (MyParker login and password are required). Fall 2021 Orientation will be entirely online as of this update. If any changes to this occur, it will be communicated via email to all incoming students.
  2. Successful completion of New Student Orientation requires the completion of all content quizzes with a score of 75 or greater and the completion of the New Student Orientation survey (available via email and in your Blackboard course after your Winter courses have begun). 
    1. This orientation will take several hours to complete, but can be done in multiple sittings. 
    2. EverFi is also required as part of New Student Orientation. You will receive information about EverFi in your parker.edu email and within your Blackboard course.
  3. We anticipate New Student Orientation will open to all REGISTERED new students by 8/9/2021 at 9AM.
    1. Most programs will have a Welcome and Q&A session- The day and time for this session will be announced as we get closer to Orientation. This will be a 1-2 hour session with current students and your Program Director or the Dean of your college. These will be recorded for reference and added to your online course after they have been completed. 

You are about to begin your career in chiropractic at the best college in the country, and we look forward to helping you achieve great success. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Student Affairs at AskStudentAffairs@parker.edu.
