Summer 2022 Orientation on Canvas

Orientation will be held in three parts this summer over Canvas, the learning management system used by Salem State. Students will register for a one-day orientation experience and be enrolled in pre-orientation modules in their canvas accounts. These modules are to be completed prior to the one-day orientation. Once the student completes the one-day session, they will see new modules open for items to complete before Welcome Week!

Transfer Orientation Dates:

  • Friday, June 3, 2022
  • Friday, June 17, 2022
  • Friday, August 5, 2022

Each transfer orientation date will be accompanied by a live welcome from orientation. You will register for classes either on your orientation date or in the days following depending on your major. Appointments for registration are now open on your Navigate account. Learn more about how to do this in your pre-orientation modules.

Pre-Orientation and BBQ

While orientation is primarily online for transfer students, once registered for an orientation session, each will receive a special invitation to your SSU Email from orientation to attend an afternoon BBQ with other new students on campus.

Registration for this event is also in your pre-orientation module on Canvas. Pre-orientation is live now!

We hope that you have already started connecting with your new community through the Facebook Transfer Connections page. Any students who need accommodations to access the online format should contact disability-services@salemstate.edu.

Our professors, staff, and student leaders are looking forward to seeing you. Please make sure to check your Salem State email regularly for updates and information regarding next steps – we are excited to welcome you to Salem State University!
