Welcome to the exciting journey as a Prairie Star at UIS! We are thrilled that you have chosen our University! Our Orientation programs are designed to help you and your parents/family members on board as you embark on this new chapter in your life.

All first-time, first-year undergraduates and first-year undergraduate transfer students (bringing in less than 24 credit hours) are required to complete a hybrid Orientation, consisting of three parts:

• Online Orientation
• In-Person, One-day Orientation Session (or Virtual-synchronous, two-day, Orientation for International Students), and
• First-Year New Student Welcome, In-person.

Students can register for the session from their UIS Application Status page.
