New Employee Orientation

UVU’s New Employee Orientation aims to help acclimate you to life here at UVU. These orientations happen on the first Wednesday of each month. Please RSVP for the first orientation on or after your start date. Because some new employees may already know a lot about UVU, we offer a customizable orientation experience with three phases, the first two of which are optional.
