New Employee Orientation
St. Cloud State University recognizes the importance of a well-defined and welcoming orientation process that will help new employees to complete required forms, to learn about our benefits, to introduce employees to our culture, mission and vision, and our strategic plan. New employee orientation is also a great opportunity to meet other new employees, along with getting new current SCSU employees in key departments and positions. The orientation program is designed to provide you with essential information and highlight the ways that St. Cloud State is innovating for the future and building on our strengths and traditions as we work to lead in higher education.
I-9 Documents: On your orientation day, please do not forget to bring acceptable I-9 identification documentation. It is vital that you have this documentation for us to be able to complete required forms.
Dress Code: Business Casual
Parking: Park in the 4th Avenue parking ramp for the two days of your orientation. Take a ticket from the machine at entry and bring that ticket to orientation. We will hand out pre-paid validation stickers to allow you to leave the ramp.
