General Questions
You’ll be invited to the New Student Onboarding sequence via Beaver Basecamp in May after you have confirmed your enrollment and completed some pre-orientation tasks.
Along the way, checklists with important tasks will guide you through key steps to get you ready for your first term at OSU-Cascades, and emails from the New Student Onboarding office will help you stay on top of the onboarding sequence.
Registering for classes will happen during Phase 2 (Activate) of your onboarding sequence. Completing your pre-orientation tasks in Beaver Basecamp and Phase 1 of onboarding (Prepare) ensures you have the information you need to build your class schedule with your advisor and get registered. It will also help you navigate the online registration system itself.
Checklists along the way will help guide you through the steps up to and including class registration. We’ll be there to support you along the way!
In order to be fully prepared to start your journey at OSU-Cascades, you will need to engage in all five steps of your onboarding sequence. If you have questions about participating in any of the steps, please reach out to the New Student Onboarding office for support.
All new-to-OSU-Cascades students will participate in activities designed to ease their transition into OSU-Cascades life. Transfer students — those coming from another college or university — will follow a structured onboarding process that includes both general OSU-Cascades information and sessions tailored specifically for transfer students. These transfer-focused sessions acknowledge their prior experience and provide targeted support to help them transition smoothly into the OSU-Cascades community.
