Step Four: Register for Orientation
The Mission of Student Orientation
Our top priority is to support you in a successful academic and social transition to the UC Blue Ash community. The purpose of our orientation is to introduce new students and their families to the quality academics, resources and community fostered at UC Blue Ash College. Orientation is the catalyst to support your transition to our institution by preparing you for the academic rigor, personal responsibilities, and intellectual, cultural and social climate of our campus.
What Is New Student Orientation?
UC Blue Ash will offer several orientation programs between April and May for summer semester and between May and August for the fall semester. All first-year students are required to attend one of these 4-hour orientation programs. During orientation, we will introduce new students and their families to faculty, staff and current students. You will learn about the "business of being a student," how to be successful in and out of the classroom, and will work with the advising staff to register for your first semester of college classes.
How Do I Register?
You will receive a personal link to register for orientation via email (used to apply to UC Blue Ash College.) After April 1, you will have access to register for orientation via your email or by calling the Student life Office.
Call the Student Life Office at 513-558-9429 if have questions about orientation.
Placement Tests & Orientation
Placement tests - or qualifying ACT/SAT exemptions - must be submitted at least two weeks prior to your scheduled orientation date. Be sure to check the placement test deadline associated with your orientation date below. If you do not complete placement test requirements by this deadline, your orientation reservation will be cancelled and you must reschedule for a later orientation date.
If you do not complete placement tests by the deadline, you will not be eligible to begin classes in the corresponding semester. Please review all deadlines and be aware of your semester start date.
