Orientation is the key to a successful transition to CSU!

It’s fun, informative and a chance to immerse yourself in all things CSU before classes begin. Orientation is mandatory for incoming freshmen and optional – but highly recommended – for transfer students. We offer in-person and online options so you can get the most of out of your experience.

Highlights:
  • Schedule your advising appointment
  • Get your Viking ID card
  • Explore campus services
  • Meet fellow Vikings – students and staff!
  • Sessions on financial aid, academic success, student involvement and more

Transfer Students

Transfer students must schedule an appointment with their academic advisors to register for classes the first time. Orientation, while not mandatory, is a great opportunity to learn more about campus and meet other incoming students. Transfer students can register for in-person or online events.

MAGNUSFEST

MagnusFest is your official campus welcome party! It’s an exciting celebration with food, entertainment, your new Viking classmates and future friends, informational tables and fun! It is a mandatory, student-only event – but we promise it’s worth it. There’s no better way to kick-off your first semester at Cleveland State!
