Orientation at DelVal is designed specifically to connect you with the staff, students, and faculty who make DelVal an exemplary small, private, teaching University.

Through the online orientation, you will learn more about the University and the programs and services that support your transition to being a DelVal student. Please use the link to login into the Online Orientation system and begin the orientation.

A note before you start:

• You will use your DelVal username and password to enter the site. Username and password were sent via email by Technology Services. The email is from either NoReply-TechServices@delval.edu or noreply@delval.edu. If a search of the email you used for admission to DelVal does not turn up that communication, contact the Help Desk at support@delval.edu and they will work with you to access your account.
• Once logged into the site, click on the box titled “New Student Orientation” to begin
• The orientation can be completed over multiple sessions. It does not need to be completed in one sitting. Be sure to scroll on each page to review the content, videos, and links on each page.
• You will have access to the online orientation over the course of the winter. Be sure to revisit the site as needed to prepare yourself for the start of the semester.
• The orientation system works best when accessed from either a desktop, laptop, or tablet. The system can be accessed from a smart phone but will be challenging to navigate.

Please reach out as you have questions about the online orientation.
