New freshmen and transfer students must attend a session of the Humboldt Orientation Program (HOP). (Returning students, second bachelor's students, unclassified post-baccalaureate students do not attend HOP; they will be sent registration materials in the mail so that they can register online.)
The Orientation programs include tours of campus, plenty of fun and opportunities to meet other new students, and advising sessions to prepare you for the transition to Humboldt State University. The final event of Orientation is to actually register for classes. While we encourage our fall applicants to take the EPT/ELM by the first week of May, you can also take the EPT and ELM tests during Orientation.
Humboldt Orientation Program brochures are sent to all admitted fall freshmen and transfers, beginning in February. Admitted spring freshmen and transfers receive their HOP brochures beginning in December.
