1 Humboldt Orientation Program
Welcome to Humboldt
Getting started with Humboldt Orientation Program’s (HOP)
Student Orientation, Advising and Registration for all new
students:
We are very pleased to welcome you to the Humboldt State community. We want
to provide you with a strong start and the foundation for a successful experience at
Humboldt State that will ultimately allow us to cheer for you at graduation as you
walk across the stage!
The mandatory Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration sessions (HOP for
short) allow you to receive advising and register for your first semester classes. All of
our HOP sessions are designed to communicate what it means to be a member of
the Humboldt State community consistent with the University’s mission to maintain
academic excellence, prepare students to be socially responsible members of diverse
societies, and to use their education to make a positive difference.
Each HOP session will:
• Provide you with academic and major advising
• Provide assistance with schedule planning and registration for fall classes
• Provide social programs and share social opportunities and expectations
• Acquaint you with the Humboldt State campus and surrounding community
• Inform you about degree requirements, course offerings, and academic
support services
• Create connections with faculty, staff, administrators, and current students
• Provide a comprehensive orientation for families and guests of new students
Peer Groups (peer advising) are the heart of Humboldt’s HOP sessions. Much of the
experience is built around a series of peer group meetings. Current students complete
extensive training to serve as peer counselors. We look forward to meeting you this
summer!

Which Session is Right For You?
June & July Session Information
• The summer sessions are smaller than the August session thus offering more time for
personal attention and one-on-one assistance.
• These sessions are the first opportunity new students have to register for fall classes,
providing a wider selection of available classes.
• You and your guests can stay in the residence halls during the summer sessions which
provides a great way to meet other new students and families, and make friends before
school starts.
• You can take care of university related business right away (talk with financial aid, look for
a job, etc.) and return in August relaxed and ready to go.
August Session Information
• It is more convenient to make just one trip to Arcata. In August you can move directly into
your residence hall room (if you will be living on campus) or your off-campus housing for
the year, and complete your HOP session the week before you begin classes.
• There is social programming the weekend before classes to help you get involved.
• Most campus offices are open and ready to help you get off to a strong start.
BOOK OF THE YEAR
Each year HSU and the College of the
Redwoods select a Book of the Year. All
students, staff, and faculty are encouraged
to read this year’s selection, Kite Runner,
and participate in some of the activities
organized around the book during the
Fall Semester 2007.

attend the June or July sessions. During the session families and guests will attend receptions,
program fairs and presentations to meet HSU representatives from all over campus and have
plenty of time to connect with other Humboldt State families.

The HSU Math Placement Test (MPT) is a supplementary placement exam for people who
wish to bypass Pre-Calculus (HSU’s Math 115) and enroll in Calculus instead. The test
is appropriate for a small population of students, who after taking and passing the test will
receive a higher math code, enabling them to go directly into Calculus. You might consider
reviewing the sample test on the website at www.humboldt.edu/~mathdept.
The HSU Math Placement Test is given on a walk-in basis, and will be offered during each
HOP session. The test will take place in the Testing Center, House 71. We strongly recommend that you attend the MPT review session offered during the HOP session. The exam
will be the following morning.

welcome in the Advising Center.

All new students must complete the pre-registration checklist before registering. This website
will help you set up your HSU email, set your preferred email address and establish a registration PIN code. You need to complete this list before you attend HOP. Go to the Humboldt

Degree Audit Report for
Students (DARS)
If you have Advanced Placement credit or any college or university credit, you will receive a
Degree Audit Report for Students (DARS) when you arrive. Your DARS tells you and your
advisor how the course work you completed prior to coming to Humboldt will apply to HSU’s
graduation requirements. Courses taken Spring/Summer 2007 may not be on your audit report yet. Your report will be updated when we receive and evaluate your final transcripts. If you
do not sign up for HOP by the deadline or your transcripts arrive after this date, we cannot
guarantee you a DARS in time for advising and registration.
The Academic Information and
Referral (AIR) Center is here to help
students navigate policies and procedures at HSU. If you have questions
about your transfer credit, registration or other policies and procedures,
your Degree Audit Report (DARS)
or other policies, the AIR Center is
the place to go. If we don’t have the
answer, we will help you find it.

Learn with Others who Share your Interests
For students beginning their first or second semester of college, one of the best ways to
transition is to join a FIG. What’s a FIG? It’s short for Freshman Interest Group – and it’s
essentially a group of students (about 25) who take three to five thematically-linked classes
during the Fall semester. Are you interested in politics, the arts, marine sciences, the outdoors, psychology, business… ? There are 25 different FIG themes to choose from. Two out
of every three freshmen join FIGs – there’s a good reason for that. Students who join FIGs
tend to get better grades, have more fun during their first semester at college, and arrive at
orientation with a partial class schedule in hand.
To see all the benefits of joining a FIG and to see more complete descriptions of each FIG,
go online to the website listed below. You can sign up online or complete and return the
enclosed reservation form. Either way, remember that it’s first-come, first-served, so respond
early! Some FIGs for 2007 include:
• Business and Enterprise Economy
• Elementary Education
• Exploring the Human Dimensions of Natural Resources
• Exploring Humboldt, Majors & Careers
• Exploring the Marine Environment
• Exploring the Mind
• Honors FIG Seminar
• HOWL – Humboldt Outdoor Wilderness Leadership
• Intro to Environmental Science and Engineering
• Intro to Human Performance
• Journalism and Mass Communications
• Leadership, Activism & Social Justice
• Life Science and the Environment
• Math Confidence
• Off the Beaten Path: Exploring Humboldt through Literature and Landscapes
• People and Politics
• People, Community and Social Change
• Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Organizing Communities for Disaster
• Science Foundations
• Teaching Secondary Education Math & Science
• Women for Change
• Writing and Speaking for the Environment

Educational Opportunity
Program (EOP)
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) can assist low-income students who want
to benefit from additional academic support and advising. Call the EOP program for details
regarding eligibility and application information. If you attend the EOP Summer Bridge
Program, you are not required to attend an HOP session.
To speak with someone, please call (877) 826-3778.
“I came to HSU unsure about what I
wanted to study. The Science Foundations FIG really helped me decide what
I want to do with my life.
It was hands-on experience all semester
long, including hikes to the forest and
the Arcata Marsh.
I highly recommend joining a FIG.”
