Onboarding & Offboarding

New Employee Orientation at Cal Poly Humboldt welcomes new staff into a vibrant, mission-driven academic community rooted in sustainability, inclusion, and student success. This program is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the university’s history, values, organizational structure, and commitment to polytechnic education.

The Offboarding process ensures a smooth, secure transition by handling final paperwork, recovering university assets and revoking system access for those separating.

New Employee Orientation

During orientation, employees learn about campus resources, employee benefits, workplace culture, and professional development opportunities. Participants are introduced to key campus partners—including Human Resources, Staff Council, Title IX, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion—ensuring they understand the support systems available to them.

Orientation provides opportunities to connect with campus leadership and fellow colleagues, fostering collaboration, belonging, and a strong sense of community from day one.
