• These online modules must be completed prior to your RRO Advising & Registration session. Your "Academic Orientation" hold will only be removed on your session date AFTER you complete all of your modules.
• Be sure to use the admitted student tasklist to help you navigate.
• Make sure you’ve set up your TTU Email!
