Attend Orientation & Benefits

Learn more about your campus resources and services, as well as your employee benefits package. Review upcoming dates and complete and submit the form for Orientation and Benefit Enrollment to register. A benefit representative will review your request and get back to you with a date and time for your session.

An on-demand module covering the orientation information is available in the OSU Talent Portal.

Employees should complete either the live-virtual or on-demand course within 30 days of hire.

  • WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR ORIENTATION AND BENEFIT ENROLLMENT SESSION

    If you are a new benefits-eligible employee with a continuous, regular appointment of at least six months and work at least 75% time, you are invited to attend Orientation & Benefit Enrollment within 30 days of hire. To be eligible for all benefit options, enrollment must be within the first 30 days of hire. Early enrollment helps ensure that premiums are deducted from your check in a timely manner. Many departments coordinate with their new employees to assist with the scheduling process, but it is to your advantage to ensure that you are enrolled early.

    Orientation & Benefit Enrollment is approximately four hours and includes information on OSU history, University Human Resources, Wellness services, Sustainability, OSU Benefit programs, and so much more! Please see the dates and times below along with the registration form.

    Orientation & Benefit Enrollment session locations are determined by the class size. All dates, times and locations are subject to change. Due to class sizes, locations will vary. You will receive location information upon registration. Employees must be pre-registered for Orientation & Benefit Enrollment due to limited space.
