New Student Orientation

Access your Orientation Portal

Your Orientation Portal is the home base for your transition to IU Bloomington. This is where you will manage everything required for New Student Orientation and the start of your IU experience. Log in regularly to complete your required tasks, manage your reservation, and track your progress.

For international students

Complete your Atlas checklist

International students: Make sure to finish all tasks in your Atlas checklist. You cannot make an orientation reservation for New Student Orientation until you do.

Your Orientation Portal

Start here to make your reservation and stay on track. The Orientation Portal allows you to coordinate essential steps in your Hoosier journey:

Reserve your orientation experience: Choose your date and select your required components (including academic advising/course registration and Foundations of Orientation).

Monitor your confirmation: Don't just set it and forget it. Revisit your confirmation page for updates on your appointments and arrival details as your session approaches.
Interact with your personal student roadmap: Access and update your personal roadmap to stay organized. You can check off completed items and monitor your real-time progress to confirm you are ready for the semester.

Newly admitted students will receive information via email when reservations are available.

Required technical setup

To access the Orientation Portal and complete your required components, you must finalize your technical setup.

Activate your IU accounts

Set up your university computing accounts to gain access to your portal and student email. While you can access the portal before your email is fully active, early email setup is important to ensure you are able to reister for classes and access IU systems you will need as a student.
