Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up for an Advising & Registration Day?

You will find the link to RSVP for an Advising & Registration Day in the last Intro to Weber module. They are offered a few times during the summer and academic year. If you have limited internet access, please contact the orientation office and we can register you for an in-person event and you can come at 8 a.m. to complete the Intro to Weber online modules on campus prior to our official start to Advising & Registration Day.

Is New Student Orientation in person? 

We offer both in-person and virtual options for students to attend based on their location, preferences, and needs. 

Can I complete New Student Orientation and register for classes while on a mission?

In certain situations, yes. Many mission authorities allow small amounts of personal time for educational tasks. We recommend completing your Intro to Weber Online modules on a prep day as you near the end of your service.

  • If you are serving outside North or South America, please email orientation@weber.edu for specific orientation accommodations.
  • Registering via family member or supporter: If you return close to the semester start, you can authorize a family member to meet with an academic advisor/register for you. 
    • To do this:
      • Complete the Student Information Release Form in your student portal.
      • Ensure you complete Intro to Weber first.
      • Your supporter can then meet with an Academic Advisor to check off the second step of New Student Orientation.

Important Notes: The Release Form does not allow others to log into your student account. Sharing login credentials is a violation of the Student Code. Family members/supporters must contact university offices directly for assistance.

If you have any questions about registration, contact the Registration office 801-626-6100 or registration@weber.edu.

  • All new, first-time students (including Early College) based on their program of study are required to complete both Intro to Weber and an Advising & Registration Experience. 
  • Transfer students and International students are required to complete Intro to Weber. 
  • Non-degree seeking, post-baccalaureate, Continuing Education, and Concurrent/Dual Enrollment students are not required to complete either but are encouraged to do both! 

What fulfills the New Student Orientation requirement? 

  1. Intro to Weber: Online 
  2. Advising & Registration Experience
    • In-person event 
    • Virtual event 
    • Registration event, or one-on-one advising appointment with an Academic Advisor

How long is New Student Orientation?

Intro to Weber takes about 90 minutes to complete. In-person Advising & Registration Day is an all-day event (but worth it!). Virtual Advising & Registration Day and College Registration Labs will run between 2-3 hours, and these will not provide the same amount of information as the in-person events.

I don’t live in Utah and won’t be there until school starts. What do I do?

You should complete Intro to Weber. Find the Advising & Registration Experience that will work for your schedule. Please note that you won’t be able to register for classes until you attend an Advising & Registration Experience, so the virtual event may work better for you.

I went to school a few years ago and am coming back. Do I need orientation?

It is not required for you, however, you may want to review Intro to Weber and you would benefit from meeting with your academic advisor.

How can Early College students complete the requirement?

 Early College students will complete Intro to Weber and meet with their Early College advisors. If you need to find out your advisor, email earlycollege@weber.edu. 

Do Early College students have to repeat New Student Orientation if they continue at Weber State for a bachelor's degree?

Early College students do not need to repeat New Student Orientation requirements when they continue at Weber State for a bachelor's degree. However, students are encouraged to attend Advising & Registration Day and/or meet with their program of study advisor.
