91°µÍø

Access the new student portal to register for or change your orientation date, verify your major, and review additional steps you may need to take before attending orientation. Log in with your 91°µÍø unique ID and password. 

Registration for the orientation process begins Thursday, March 12 at 1 p.m. EST. In order to register for orientation, you must confirm your admission via the  and enroll in Duo two-factor authentication.

Within 48 hours after confirming your admission, you can register for orientation using the . The registration process should take you less than 5 minutes. We’ll ask you to confirm your major, self-report any AP or CCP credits you’re expecting, request accommodations for any disabilities during the orientation process, and share contact information for any family members or guests who will join you for your on-campus orientation program.

When you complete your registration, students will receive a confirmation email to your 91°µÍø email address, and registered guests will also receive a confirmation email.

Please note:

• Orientation programs fill up on a first-come, first-served basis, and do not have waiting lists, so new students should register early and be as flexible as possible with their availability.
• One common misperception is that students who attend later orientation sessions will have significant difficulty registering for classes. In reality, seats in the most common first-year courses are released for each orientation program, so students who attend later sessions are not at a disadvantage. Every student will leave orientation with a full schedule of classes that will help you on your way to timely degree completion. 

After registering for an orientation session, you will receive an invitation to join the orientation Canvas modules (beginning on May 13, 2026). Students who register for orientation on or after May 13 will receive the course invitation on the next business day. Each module in the course will include important information about your academic and social transition to 91°µÍø.

Completing part 1 of the orientation Canvas modules is required prior to attending your on-campus orientation program date and is required prior to academic advising and registration. The information you receive in Canvas will be specific to your academic college, so if you are considering changing your major, let us know using the orientation registration system so you’ll see the correct academic information.

You are required to complete part 1 of the orientation Canvas modules at least 5 days before your scheduled on-campus orientation session. The orientation Canvas course includes important material about academic and student life, and will be referenced during your on-campus orientation session. 

The Orientation and Transition Programs team is eager to welcome you to campus for orientation, where you'll build on your connection to 91°µÍø and become more familiar with our university community and the resources and support that will help you meet your goals. As a new student, you'll learn about your academic curriculum, meet with an advisor, and register for classes at orientation. You'll also meet new friends, eat in campus dining facilities, have the option to stay overnight in a campus residence hall, and much more. First-year students are required to attend one of our eighteen one-and-a-half day sessions that take place between late May - early July 2026. If you're unable to attend one of the orientation dates, please contact us at orientation@91°µÍøOH.edu or 513-529-9771 to register for the August orientation date. 

On July 8, 2026, Part 2 of the orientation Canvas modules will become available and is due in mid-August. Information about student services, campus life, transitioning to college, 91°µÍø traditions, and next steps is included in the remaining Canvas course modules. Part 2 of the orientation Canvas modules will also include your links to the required online trainings Strategies for Reducing Alcohol-Related Harms and Impressions: Sexual Assault Prevention.

Optional 91°µÍø Bound programs offer opportunities for new students to engage in learning, leading, and connecting to 91°µÍø and other new students before fall semester classes begin. 

Through 91°µÍø Bound programs, first-year students can meet other new students with common interests, build community that connects them to 91°µÍø, learn about campus services and resources. 91°µÍø Bound programs are optional and may require an additional cost to participate. 

91°µÍø Bound registration opens on May 14, 2026 at 1 p.m. You must be registered for an orientation session before you're eligible to sign up for a 91°µÍø Bound program. You must complete each of these online trainings to register for future classes; students who do not complete all of the above trainings will have a registration hold placed on their account until they are complete.

A full schedule of Welcome Weekend programs will introduce you to campus and to other new students. We also coordinate programs through the First 50 Days of the semester to help you connect with campus communities, support services, and involvement opportunities.
