New Employee Orientation is designed to provide new faculty and staff with valuable information regarding the University's mission, compensation and benefits programs, policies, and the University's community as a whole. Registration is required by 4 p.m. on the Thursday prior to Orientation. Being placed on the waiting list does not ensure a reserved spot in Orientation. HR Analysts/Managers: Employees who are in pre-hire status, and those that are unable to register for NEO using their own credentials will be dropped from the roster, and unfortunately will not be able to attend orientation on that day; as same day “sign-in's" will not be allowed going forward.
