Registering for Orientation

New students enrolling in Spring 2020 will attend orientation in early January. Orientation sessions are based on the student's major. Reservations are processed online via your MySacState account. Students who do not attend Orientation will not be permitted to enroll this Spring.

  1. Step One: Accept Admissions
  2. Step Two: Before you can register for Orientation, Admissions will need to verify information submitted to the University.
  3. Step Three: Log into MySacState
  4. Step Four: Click STUDENT CENTER in the center of the page.
  5. Step Five: Click New Student Orientation on the lower left side of the page and follow the directions.

    Orientation sessions are based on the student's major. If a student’s major of interest has changed since he or she applied to Sac State, the student should select an orientation date based on his or her new major of interest. If a student needs to officially change their major, he or she can discuss that with an advisor during major advising.

  6. Step Six: Confirm your reservation, and make note of how to pay your orientation fee and print your parking permit. Students will receive an email confirmation of their reservation.
