STEPS TO COMPLETE REGISTRATION
Follow the steps below to start earning college credit, while you are still in high school, online or on ORU’s campus as early as next semester. For help, connect with us at advantage@oru.edu or 918.495.6670.
STEP 1: SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION
If you are new to ORU’s Advantage Program or have taken a semester or more off, then your first step is to sign up by completing a quick online application (there’s no fee).
While completing the application form, please select “Dual Enrollment” when prompted to select a program and select all course(s) in which you want to be enrolled.
Once you submit an application, we’ll email your high school counselor a link to complete the High School Approval Form. Parents can complete this form if you are a homeschool student. Once we receive your High School Approval Form, we’ll process your application, connect with you and enroll you in classes. It’s that easy!

STEP 2: COMPLETE REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT
After we’ve processed your application and enrolled you in your courses, your Advantage Representative will send you an email with instructions for how to complete registration and payment. This important email will also explain how to access your courses through our online learning platform, Desire2Learn (D2L).
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.
