ST. THOMAS UNIVERSITY FALL 2023

New Student Orientation and Registration

New Undergraduate Students

Upon receiving admission to St. Thomas University, new students are required to submit a $200 enrollment deposit to secure their seat for the upcoming semester. Upon submission of the enrollment deposit, you must RSVP for one of the mandatory virtual orientation dates below. The virtual orientation consists of a series of modules that prepare for your start at STU! You will receive a link the morning of your assigned virtual orientation that directs you to the virtual orientation through Canvas, and you will have until 5pm on Sunday to complete the orientation.

An advisor from our Student Success Center will register you for classes prior to your scheduled orientation date, and you will be able to adjust your schedule at an in-person Bobcat OnBoard event (if necessary).
