Freshmen – New to Blue Orientation
New to Blue, MTSU’s multi-phase orientation guides new students through academic planning and resources for a successful first year.
Students accepted for the summer and/or fall terms complete both of the following components:
Once you use your PipelineMT account to sign up for your on-campus orientation day, you receive an email granting you access to the New to Blue pre-orientation course in your Canvas account. This course consists of units that must be completed prior to your orientation day. Academic advising and course registration occur on your orientation day. There is no need to schedule a separate advising appointment.
Freshmen attend a full day on-campus orientation. After lunch, Jones College students and their guests join a presentation with the dean and advisors. At check-in, students receive The Blue Portfolio, their advisor assignment, and a suggested course list. After the dean’s presentation, guests meet in the Student Union while students go to the BAS computer labs for advisor meetings and course registration.
