START VU Jasper New Student Orientation introduces students to our campus and the
services we offer. There are two components to our program: completing the online
orientation module and the in-person orientation.
The Jasper New Student Orientation Module is available in the module here using your VUX login credentials.
Students are required to complete the online module before attending their in-person
orientation date.
We will reach out to you to schedule an appointment to register for your first semester
classes.
The Accuplacer exam is a series of tests that evaluate a student's preparedness for
college-level courses. Students who have transfer credit in college level English
and math, or a qualifying high school GPA, or sufficient SAT or ACT scores, may be
exempt from taking Accuplacer.
NOTE: A photo ID is required for testing (Driver’s license, State ID card). Testing
is administered in the Administration Building.
If you are in need of special accommodations for testing, please call the Director
of Student Services at 812-482-3030 at least two weeks prior to the testing date.
If you have transfer credit, we must have an official transcript before you enroll
in classes to determine appropriate course placement. Official transcripts must be
sent to VU directly from the issuing college/s where the credit was earned.
All students are required to demonstrate college readiness in order to register for
classes.
Your student ID photo will be taken when you come to campus to complete the Accuplacer
test. If you do not need to take the test or choose to take it virtually, you may
submit a headshot for your student ID via email. To do so, please use your preferred
email address on file with the university to send an email to vuphoto@vinu.edu that includes the following items:
Your Full Name
Your Home Mailing Address
Your A Number (Student ID Number)
A headshot that you would like to use as your ID photo (needs to be attached as a
.jpg file)
Once your photo has been reviewed, you will receive a confirmation email letting you
know that your ID photo has been approved and that you can expect your ID card to
arrive in the mail.
START VU Jasper orientation is mandatory for all new students, including first time
college students, returning students, and transfer students.
