Signing up for Orientation, Advisement & Registration
All incoming students (freshmen and transfers) are required to attend an Orientation, Advisement & Registration program. This program will aid students in navigating through various activities that need to be accomplished prior to the beginning of their first semester. Students will meet with advisers, create their schedules for the coming semester, get their Panther Card, and much more!
To sign up for a program you MUST use your MyEIU portal.
MyEIU is a portal to personalize your web access to Eastern Illinois University. You can check your admission status, your financial aid status, register for your Orientation, Advisement & Registration program, and register for housing, on your very own profile page.
From Eastern's home page, select MyEIU and log in.
