New Student Orientation - Undergraduate Students
Updated 7/27/2022
Congratulations on your decision to enroll in Parker University's Undergraduate program! We believe you have made the right decision, and we hope you are excited about the wonderful learning experiences and challenge ahead of you.
Things to know about your New Student Orientation:
-
Complete the Undergraduate Orientation Packet. The packet is required and should be completed two weeks before the start of the term (MyParker login and password are required). Fall 2022 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.
-
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).
- This orientation will take several hours to complete but can be done in multiple sittings.
- 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.
- 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 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.
We are excited about your decision to attend Parker University. Should you have any questions about the orientation process or need further assistance, please contact Student Affairs at AskStudentAffairs@parker.edu.
