Transfer Student Pre-Orientation Checklist
Transfer Student Pre-Orientation Checklist
Below is a checklist of important items to complete prior to your on-campus orientation. These will help you to be better prepared for your session.
Before Attending:
1. Take any needed placement exams: You can find them in your Canvas account. Log in with your uniqname and password. Students should complete placement exams prior to meeting with their advisor, if at all possible. [In the absence of applicable transfer coursework, placement exams are necessary for academic advising and course registration.]
2. Meet with your academic advisor: Meet with an academic advisor to pick out courses and to get registered. You can view your advisor and their contact information in SIS under the Student Records tab. You can also contact the Student Success Center for help finding out who your advisor is.
3. Complete the Sexual Misconduct Training online module. This program is UM-Flint’s online sexual assault and prevention program that all students are required to take. Visit my.umflint.edu and within the “Popular Links & Services” section, select Sexual Misconduct Training. You will need to log in with your uniqname and LAN password.
4. Get your MCard. The MCard is your UM-Flint photo identification card that gives you access to various campus resources. This online portal allows you to submit a suitable photo ID prior to your orientation date. Submitted Mcard photos are subject to approval, and should resemble a traditional Driver’s License or other ID photo.
