Orientation

Upon admission to the University of Michigan-Dearborn, you are required to submit a $50 Enrollment Deposit. This deposit signals your intent to enroll, reserves your space for the semester, and will be credited to your student account and applied toward your tuition. Enrollment deposits are non-refundable.

When you were admitted, you should have received an email from [email protected] with instructions on setting up your uniqname and umich.edu email account. This email also included your 8-digit University of Michigan ID number (UMID). You must have both the UMID and uniqname to sign up for placement exams and orientation, and register for classes. After you have created your uniqname, please allow two business days for it to be added to our system. If you received your UMID and haven't set up your uniqname, you can obtain your uniqname now at the ITS website.

• The Math Placement Exam is an essential part of the orientation process and ensures proper placement into academic classes. Most incoming students are required to take the placement exam, unless students have the requirement waived based on the student’s declared major, combined with their transferable credit.
• If required, upon submitting the enrollment deposit, you will be sent instructions to your UMICH email on how to complete your math placement exam. You must complete the placement exam before you can move on in the orientation process. For more information visit the math placement website.

Prior to having access to schedule the Orientation Academic Advising and Registration Appointment, education majors in the College of Education, Health, and Human Services (CEHHS) are required to complete the following three clearances:

Criminal Background Check Consent Form

In order for a background check to be conducted by the Field Placement Office, students must select and complete the criminal background check consent form using the link above. Although Livescan fingerprints are not needed to meet University requirements, fingerprinting may be required by the specific site where your field experience is scheduled. Your site supervisor or other site personnel will inform you of such a requirement.

Video Recording Consent Form

Students in education clinical experiences may be required to record themselves in the classroom. These recordings will be used to provide feedback and help students develop as educators. Please select and complete the Video Recording Consent form using the link above. 

Bloodborne Pathogens Certificate Upload

Please review the Bloodborne Pathogens Training Video and complete the quiz using the links below:
