Semester Checklist

Complete these items before your first day of class.

Make sure you’ve completed your registration steps at vision.oru.edu by the deadline.

All ORU students who attend courses on campus will need an Eagle Card (ORU ID Card). You can obtain this card by visiting the Eagle Card Center, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Eagle Card Center is located on the 3rd floor of the LRC, across from Concierge, and can be reached at 918-495-6161. If you still have one from past semesters, you won’t need a new one. Be sure to bring a government-issued ID with you.

Parking permits can be purchased at Security or ordered online for $50. Security is located in the same building as Hamill Dining and across from Lower Lot (Lot G). They are open 24/7.

To obtain your parking permit, ensure you have completed registration and have the following information ready: your Eagle Card, Z-number, vehicle make and model, and license plate number.

Note: Even if you have a permit from last year, you will still need to purchase a new one for this academic year.

WONDERING WHERE TO PARK ON A SCHOOL DAY?

You are a commuter, so park in Lot A, which is right by the Mabee Center. Walk across the walking bridge over Fred Creek and head to the GC/LRC.

Attend your first day of class and note the textbook required by your teacher. You should have received an email before the semester started from coursematerials@email.bncollege.com. It will ask you to log in to your account with your ORU credentials and will tell you if your specific courses require any physicial materials. Many times courses only require digital textbooks, no physical materials, and no action is required. However, if one of your courses does require physical materials, it will ask you to confirm whether you want to pick up your ORU Course+ textbooks and materials from the ORU bookstore or have them shipped to you directly. If you selected the pickup option, then head to the ORU bookstore on the 3rd floor of the GC/LRC to pick up your items as directed in the email that you received.

You can find details about ORU’s dress code in the Student Handbook here or in the ORU app!

Please note: No shorts are permitted in the GC/LRC.

Please Note: Classrooms sometimes change at the last minute. Be sure to check your schedule in VISION prior to the first day of class.

We highly recommend arriving early on your first day of class to ensure you have plenty of time to find your classroom.

Undergraduate students attend Chapel every Wednesday and Friday at 11 AM in Christ’s Chapel. While it is not mandatory for concurrent students, you are more than welcome to attend! There is reserved seating on the balcony level and in the back row of Section A on the floor level for all commuter, concurrent, and graduate students.
