Spring Orientation is our favorite part of your journey to Olivet! You don’t want to miss it. We’re so excited to welcome you to campus!
We’re so excited you’re coming this spring. Enrollment steps coming soon.
You’re almost here! There are just a few steps left to complete before you’re ready to become an official member of the Olivet Nazarene University family. Once you’ve been admitted and secured your spot with your enrollment deposit, you can follow the steps below to complete your Olivet Orientation process. Reach out to your Admissions Counselor if you have questions.
Our favorite part of the Olivet Orientation process is the in-person Orientation event. We’re so excited to have you on campus! Orientation will take place Saturday, January 10th by invitation only.
You will hear more about what it means to be an Olivet student, financial aid, academic success and how to thrive at Olivet!
Join the Olivet community on ZeeMee to connect with other incoming students, complete the Roommate Questionnaire and attend virtual live events! ZeeMee is a great place to find your friend group or roommate before Orientation! This step is optional and is designed to help you choose a roommate if you’d like. If you connect with someone on ZeeMee and want to room together, simply let your admissions counselor know. If you don’t find a match on ZeeMee, don’t worry! Once you complete the Housing Application in Step 5, ONU Housing will pair you with a great roommate.
In this form, freshmen will declare a major, sign the campus community covenant, select extracurricular involvements and list any completed college coursework. The Registrar’s Office will then create your first semester schedule.
Connect with Lauren to discuss your completed coursework, see how your courses transfer to ONU and plan your first semester schedule.
New Account Setup
As an Olivet student, you are assigned a personal student account which is used for logging into email.olivet.edu, campus wireless, canvas.olivet.edu, my.olivet.edu and many other Olivet resources. Once you have received your username from your Admissions Counselor, you can complete the New Account Setup to access your ONU email and MyOlivet account.
Set Up Your Olivet ID
One of the most important parts of the Orientation process is finalizing your financial aid. It may seem like a lot to do between now and the start of spring semester, but we are with you every step of the way!
REMINDER: Your first payment is due December 1!
Visit our “Easy as 1, 2, 3” Financial Aid page for step-by-step instructions and how-to videos for finalizing your financial aid.
If anything seems unclear or you would like to chat further, please reach out to Financial Aid.
Complete the Housing Application!
On the housing application, you will sign the ONU Campus Community Covenant, select your meal plan, create a roommate pin, choose Tiger Dollar amounts and more. This application must be completed prior to housing registration.
*This is not when you select your dorm room. That will happen at a later date. This is simply the first step in applying for housing. Be sure to select “Housing Application” in the portal.
Complete the Off-campus Petition!
Commuter students are required to submit the Off-Campus Petition in order to be approved to live off campus. You will also sign the ONU Campus Community Covenant, select a commuter meal plan, choose Tiger Dollar amounts and more.
To complete the Off Campus Petition: Follow steps 1-4 of the Housing Application instructions. When you get to Step 5, instead of clicking “Launch Housing Gateway” click “Open Off campus Petition” and complete the form.
For the safety of the campus community, Olivet requires proof of immunization records. New students must register for a new account for medical records through www.medproctor.com using their Olivet credentials.
Upload Documents to Med + Proctor

An official transcript must include all semesters of high school, and it must have the Graduation Date filled in with a date. The transcript must be sent directly from the high school to Olivet to be considered official.
Students who have completed college courses, during their high school years or post-graduation, must also submit official college transcripts to receive credit for completed coursework. Unofficial transcripts may limit course eligibility and attendance at Olivet.
All incoming transfer students must submit official college transcripts to Olivet Nazarene University to confirm federal student aid eligibility and receive credit for completed college courses. An official transcript must include all semesters of completed coursework with a cumulative GPA. The transcript must be sent directly from the college or university to Olivet to be considered official.
Students who have completed less than 16 credit hours must also submit an official high school transcript.
