In your welcome email from the Advantage Team, you will receive your Z-number (ex. “Z12345678”). Your Z-number uniquely identifies you, so keep it nearby and store it somewhere secure.

VISION is where you’ll access registration steps, create your ORU email, and view your class schedule.

• To access your VISION account, visit vision.oru.edu. If this is your first time logging in, select LOGIN WITH Z-NUMBER & PIN. 
• 
• Type your Z-number and PIN (your six digit birth date, mmddyy). This will be your password until you change it. The first time you login, you have the option to change this number to another six-digit number or use the default. If you would like to continue to use the default PIN, simply re-enter your six-digit birthdate in all three of the boxes in the Login Verification section.
