Self-Paced New Employee Orientation

Welcome to the University of Denver! We provide New Employee Orientation in a variety of modalities, please choose the option that best suits your schedule. Below is a quick snapshot explaining some differences between these options.

Self-Paced New Employee Orientation

This fully asynchronous online option allows you to complete the orientation at your own pace, providing flexibility to fit your schedule. However, there is no live support or engagement with other peers. This option works well for adjuncts, part-time employees, remote employees, or employees with alternative schedules. Below are instructions on how to access this online course.

Remote (Zoom) New Employee Orientation

Conducted via Zoom in a hybrid environment, this option offers live sessions with trainers, enabling real-time interaction and immediate feedback. It requires you to adhere to a fixed schedule during business hours, which might be less flexible. There are breakout room activities and opportunities for engagement with other new employees. This option works well for employees who want access to live support staff and peers but are not able to be on campus. To enroll in an upcoming session, please visit our CrimsonConnect event calendar. 

In-Person New Employee Orientation

Held on campus, this option includes complimentary lunch and more opportunities for face-to-face interactions with colleagues. While it fosters better networking and engagement, it requires a physical presence, which might not be convenient for everyone. This option works well for employees with a hybrid or in-person schedule, as you will also have time to obtain your DU ID card, parking permit (if needed), and any other in-person tasks. To enroll in an upcoming session, please visit our CrimsonConnect event calendar.
