Welcome to Seattle Pacific University!

Welcome Falcons! We are so excited for you to join the SPU community and hope you are too. We hope that Orientation can help that transition go as smoothly as possible, and provide the opportunity for you to make some connections.

A key part of Orientation is your New Student Orientation (NSO) course and modules. Packed in these individual modules are all the tips, tricks, tools, and information you need to be successful here at SPU. Because we want you to succeed, the modules are mandatory and required for all new students whether you're a first-year, a transfer, living on campus, or living elsewhere. If you haven't registered for Orientation, please do so as soon as possible here (Links to an external site.) .

Throughout these Orientation modules, you'll get advice on navigating SPU from various departments and offices who offer particular services or support for students. There are a total of eighteen modules to work your way through - but good news! This course is asynchronous, meaning that you can work through those modules at your own pace. The course will remain open to you for the entirety of your time at SPU. so you'll never lose access to the resources provided therein. That said, you'll have the best experience with the course if you finish the interactive activities and assignments before New Student Orientation will occur on on Sunday, January 5th in the Eaton Hall Lobby and Eaton Hall 112. We ask that you start with Module 1 and move through them in order. Below are app icons that will link you to the module of your choice.

Questions during this course? Feel free to send a message through Canvas to Kevin Deschler, Orientation Director and instructor for this course, or email orientation@spu.edu.
