Journey to the Bluff - New Student Orientation   

Welcome to Journey to the Bluff New Student Orientation. We are so excited that you have joined the Jaguar Nation! Orientation programs are designed to welcome new students, parents, and families to the Southern University community. We have carefully planned sessions to offer a range of perspectives on life at Southern University, in addition to providing you with resources and information that will be helpful to students, parents, and families during the first few months of the university experience. New Student Orientation is one full day. A detailed schedule of events will be emailed to you prior to orientation. 

    

Welcome to Southern University and A&M College!

To ensure a smooth transition into your first semester, all incoming students are required to complete the following steps before registering for New Student Orientation:

  1. Activate Your University Email Account
    This will be our primary method of communication. Important updates, deadlines, and instructions will be sent exclusively to your official university email.
  2. Request to be added to the New Student Pre-Registration Checklist Modules Canvas Course
    Please send an email to: alisa.ross@sus.edu from your SUS email indicating that you would like to be added to the New Student Pre-Registration Checklist Modules Canvas course.
  3. Complete the New Student Pre-Registration Checklist Modules
    This self-paced, online experience is designed to help you prepare for your transition to Southern University and A&M College before attending New Student Orientation.

Please complete all three steps promptly. Students will not be able to register for New Student Orientation until they have completed the New Student Pre-Registration Checklist Modules Canvas course.
